A big huge thank you to Ms. M Walsh on an Awards afternoon to remember!!!!
On Monday last the students of Ramsgrange Community School, together with parents and staff, celebrated their fantastic achievements over the academic year 2015/2016. The school gymnasium was packed to capacity with eager students and parents awaiting nominations and possible victory in the 70 awards categories being recognised by the staff and management of the school.
We were thrilled to welcome past pupil and GAA star PJ Banville who returned for the afternoon to present the awards. Also joining us were the “High Hopes and Peace Choir” from Waterford, who filled the gymnasium with beautiful song and strong messages about homelessness, drug addiction and the importance of education and making informed decisions in our lives.
