Junior prizegiving was held on Wednesday. Prizegiving has been an integral part of our school calendar since the establishment of the school in 1857 and this whole school occasion provides an opportunity for the school to recognise both the academic and extracurricular efforts and achievements of students.

2nd Year Spirit/ Rafaella Costin Award: Muireann Bagley

This award is in memory and tribute to our dear Rafaella, who embraced every aspect of school life. There are some who bring a light so great to the world that even after they have gone the light remains. This light burns so brightly here in Loreto Balbriggan. This special award will recognise a student’s outstanding participation in school life and who has given generously of themselves to the school community. This year’s recipient was Muireann Bagley.

Academic Achievement Award.

It is very important for us to acknowledge academic achievement in school, as it is the essence of our day to day work. This award acknowledges academic excellence and recognises those students who have excelled in their subject area. On Wednesday a number of students from each subject area were awarded an academic award. In addition, a certificate of outstanding academic excellence was awarded to those students who have won more than two individual subject awards.
