Graduation Evening 2018
On Thursday May 24 2018, we said "Goodbye and Fare Well" to our Sixth Year students, the Class of 2018. As is traditional, our Leaving Certificate students climbed Sliaibh na mBan this morning on a beautiful day in Tipperary.
This afternoon, our school chaplain Fr Jim Murphy celebrated mass with the class group, their parents and guardians and the whole school staff. Fr Jim told a moving story of a prisoner who decided that once set free he would ask himself two questions every day............Who am I? Why am I here?
Having been asked those two questions daily for the duration of his incarceration, he learned the value of questioning these aspects of his life for himself, a very valuable lesson in reflection for our students.
Principal Tom Clarke congratulated our graduates and wished them well on behalf of all of the school community. He advised them to dream and to dare... to dream big and not to be afraid to fail in their search for self actualisation. He advised them to be kind and to be brave. Finally he hoped that the students would always feel a sense of pride and belonging to CBS Kilkenny, and that it would always be somewhere that they could call home.
