6th Class Award Winners 2022

Huge Congratulations to all our 6th Class students who graduated last Friday! We were delighted to celebrate them and all their achievements over their 8 years with us in St. Ultan’s.

Each year at graduation we have some special awards to celebrate individual achievements. This year we presented the following four awards…

Lauritzson Foundation Award & Bursary: An award for achievements in music and a contribution towards further music studies. This award goes to a child who has participated and excelled in St. Ultans Presto project.

Attendance and Participation Award: An award for really good attendance and punctuality, and also to recognise a child that can always be depended on to support events, participate in events and turn up when they say they will.

Spirit of Saint Ultan: An award for a child who embraces and promotes kindness, bravery, excellent interpersonal skills, a big heart, a lovely nature and a generosity of spirit.

Réalt na Scoile: This major award goes to the child in 6th class who epitomises everything we value in Saint Ultans, the child who has contributed most to Saint Ultans, and has been a super ambassador throughout their time here.
