First Year Awards 2014/5

First Year Awards

On the final day of the school year 2015 the first year students of St Paul’s were awarded and rewarded for the great work and effort they had put in during what was an action packed and fun filled year.  After an exhausting Geography Tour on Thursday and their final summer exam on Friday morning most were very surprised to find themselves in an awards ceremony let alone receiving awards.

The first award for academic excellence were presented to Aleksandra Kieltkya, Sarah Duffy, Adam Ryan, Cia Keogh, Kerrie Dunne, Kellis Williams, Katie Walsh, Ellen Mahon, Scott Higgins and Conor O’Keeffe

These were followed by the application to study awards to Dougie Anderson, Corey Farrell, Robert Mulpeter, Ross O’Donoghue, Rebecca Redmond, Killian Keane, Jack Donnelly, Sarah Martin, Stacie Dunne and Roisin Shallow

Next up was the Reading Age Improvements and the following students were acknowledged: Marita Clinton, Clodagh Colgan, Samantha Kelly, Darcie Murray, Sarah Duffy (most improved 41 months), Courtney Thorpe and James Grattan.
