Rewarding end to the school year at Tarbert Comp

THERE was more than one star on the stage in Tarbert Comprehensive School last Thursday as they celebrated their annual awards night.

The night was full of laughs, cries and inspiring words as the students each took to the stage, some for the last time.

The night consisted of awarding and recognising the efforts and achievements throughout the year. Everything from art to sport to academics was recognised on the night. The sky was the limit when it came to the student’s achievements.

The night was emceed by the hilarious teachers Ms Fitzgerald and Mr O’Shea and they didn’t fail to entertain the crowd in the hall and all those watching online. Former Armagh Footballer Oisín McConville and current Ireland Ladies Rugby Squad Captain Ciara Griffin were present on the night to give a helping hand with the presentation of awards and spoke to the students. Oisín talked about choices, emotional health and the importance of being happy with our choices while Ciara spoke of the importance of accepting one’s self, finding balance in life and being active.

Leaving Cert student Muirne Wall presented the principal Mr Richard Prendiville with one of her Munster jerseys, and she went on to win Female Sports Person of the Year. Tadhg McEvoy from Knockanure went on to win Male Sports Person of the Year, TY student of the Year was awarded to Caelan Fox and Male and Female Students of the Year were given to Eamon Stack Mulvihill from Moyvane and Roisin Noonan from Loughill.

Mr Richard Prendiville then presented the Principal’s Award to Nicole Fitzgerald. Senior Musicians of they year went to the talented group of Maeve Carmody, Lisa Mulvihill, Roisin Noonan and Eileen O’Connor.

The Junior Musicians of the year were Leona Sheehy and Hamish O’Carroll, and everyone can agree that it was a fantastic night for all involved.
