PICTURES: Proud day as 'momentous occasion' celebrated at Kilkenny school

Last Friday was described as ‘a truly momentous occasion for everyone in Mother of Fair Love Special School’ in Kilkenny City as their school leavers become among the first students in the country to receive their Leaving Certificate results at Level 2.

“We could not be prouder of our students and all that they have achieved,” a statement from the school read.

“This is a significant milestone not only for our young people, but for our whole school community, marking an exciting new chapter in the journey of inclusive education and recognising the abilities, talents and potential of every student.

“It is also a hugely proud and emotional moment for our staff, whose dedication, commitment and belief in our students have helped make this achievement possible. Our teachers and SNAs continually strive to ensure that every student is supported to reach their full potential, celebrating progress and creating meaningful opportunities for success.

“A very special mention must go to Assistant Principal Danielle Mulhall, who has shown exceptional dedication in leading and supporting our first cohort of students through Senior Cycle.”
