"The highlights of the night included the much-anticipated announcements of the students of the year, Maeve Ahern and Darragh Walsh, and sportspersons of the year, Zoie Kelly and James Kissane."
"Kieran Dalton told of how he lost his mother, a staff member of the school, when he was only 20. Mr Dalton encouraged everyone to appreciate the good people in their lives and not to take them for granted as they will not be around forever and emphasised the importance of kindness and the impact people have on others, noting that people never forget how someone made them feel."
