At the ceremony, Julie Browne introduced the TY programme and presented awards to students for academic excellence, personal growth, community involvement and career exploration.
Julie commended the students for their enthusiasm and hard work throughout the year and attributed their success to the students' enthusiasm and dedication saying, 'We're incredibly proud of what they've achieved. The future is bright.'
The ceremony was organised and run by the students, under the guidance of Madison Coleman. It was enjoyed by all who attended and celebrated a year of growth, fun, adventure and new experiences.
Everyone had a part to play, with some moving musical performances from Maria Lynch and Ceadaí Canavan Joyce as well a group performing a scene from their recent variety show.
Students spoke about their various work experience; some in businesses and charities around the town, while others spoke about travelling to Dublin to the Law Society, an Garda Síochána, the Architects Guild.
A couple of students went further afield as one student sailed a boat home from Amsterdam as she investigated her chosen career as a Ship's Captain. Another student had the opportunity to do a week's training in Chesterfield Football Club with professional soccer players in England.
Among the highlights of the year were the trips, experiences and courses including SETU's Cybersecurity programme, Road Safety, Conspiracy theories, Law and much more. Students talked about achievements in national competitions.
Principal Conor Berry addressed the audience and thanked parents and guardians for their ongoing support as the school continues to grow. The event also included an emotional farewell to the school's visiting Spanish exchange students.
Among the awardees were; Angelica Szymanska who won Best Digital Portfolio, Robin Mouzet who won the Career Exploration Award, Kate McDonald who won the Community Engagement Award, Euan White who won Personal Growth Award, Jack Doran Keenan who won the Academic Excellence Award, Brooke Somers won TY Student of the Year and Oscar Kenny won Best Junior Cert Results (2024).

Trent Alexander-Arnold habla Espanol at Real Madrid unveiling

Trent Alexander-Arnold said joining Real Madrid was a "dream come true" as he delivered his opening address to club dignitaries and invited guests in Spanish. The 26-year-old England international, who has signed a six-year deal after his contract with Liverpool expired, was watched by his family as he spoke confidently at his official presentation ahead of a press conference. His choice to speak in the language of his new club and not English surprised many but showed the preparation which had gone into this move, something for which he was criticised by sections of the Liverpool fanbase after leaving the club on a free transfer. "This doesn't happen every day, it's a dream come true and I'm very happy and proud to be here," he said after his 20-year association with Liverpool officially came to an end. "I want to show Real Madrid fans how I play; I'm going to give my all for the team and Real Madrid fans. "I want to show those fans how I play, I want to win many titles and I want to be a winner here and enjoy playing alongside the many great players." 🗣️🇪🇸 Señor Alexander-Arnold #WelcomeTrent — Real Madrid C.F. 🇬🇧🇺🇸 (@realmadriden) June 12, 2025 Alexander-Arnold, wearing a black suit and tie, sat next to girlfriend Estelle Behnke as a video montage was played of his best moments in a Liverpool shirt, inevitably featuring his two assists in the 4-0 Champions League semi-final comeback against Real's arch-rivals Barcelona.
