'Réalt' Award recipients 2017, Chloe Martin ('Leading Light') and Philip Fitzgerald ('Flickering Flame') were presented with their awards by Pat Mongan, elite Irish International boxer and local 'sports hero'.  Maria Martin received the 'Tiny Twinkle' Award.  Pat inspired our students by advising them to "set a goal" and when they achieve that goal, to "set another goal".

Awards

Every month we reward the Active Star of the Month certificate, one per classroom. We also reward Dalta na Míosa and Gaelgeoir na Míosa. Weekly, we reward Marvellous Manners and Outstanding Effort.

Throughout the year we frequently draw attention to and praise specific positive behaviours we want all of our students to copy and form as a habit. These behaviours we call 'Réalt' behaviours. At the Graduation ceremony, we present trophies to the student in each class who has demonstrated these behaviours most regularly throughout the year, exemplifying excellent leadership skills. These extra special awards are called

Junior Room: Tiny Twinkle Award

Middle Room: Flickering Flame Award

Senior Room: Leading Light Award
