Virtual Graduation
We say a huge congratulations to all the young men and women from 6th class in Ballyduff NS who recently celebrated their graduation on line. On Thursday June 25th each student was treated to a superbly put together video by their teacher John Carey. The video contained many photos from their primary school years along with messages from all their teachers, Fr. O Halloran, Fr. O Byrne, their music teacher, cycling instructor and would you believe a message from Bono! I was honoured to get a look at this video and I must say that John Carey really went above and beyond the call of duty and really made the 6th class graduation very special indeed. We wish all these young people the very best as they prepare for secondary school.
