The awards ceremony took place in the school hall on Wednesday, May 25. In his opening address the Principal, Paul Duggan, stressed that this was one of the most important days in the school calendar. It acknowledges achievements in the academic, social and sporting life of the school and all areas that contribute to developing responsible citizens. The keynote speaker was Dr. Lucy Hearne, a past pupil of the school and currently a Lecturer in the University of Limerick.

She went on to congratulate them on their achievements and wished everyone well for the future.
