Awards Day 2024:
Enniscorthy Community College had its annual Awards day on Thursday 23rd of May. The special guest for the ceremony was Keith Rossiter current Wexford Senor hurling manager and a former student of the school, who completed his Leaving Certificate in 2001. Following this Keith studied at Waterford Institute of Technology and completed a Business and Accounting degree. School Principal Dr. Iain Wickham said that the school community are very proud of Keith’s achievements to date, his modest nature and the manner in which he conducts himself both on an off the field. Deputy Paul Kehoe T.D. was presented with a lovely piece of wooden art in appreciation for his support to the school right throughout his career to date in politics. Councillor Barbara Ann Murphy was also present representing the Board of Management of the school.
In commenting on the highlights throughout the year the Principal mentioned that only this week the school became the first Champion School of Sanctuary in Enniscorthy. This award further emphasises the inclusive nature of the school and the great work that is being done by all members of the school community to ensure that everyone feels valued and welcomed. The wide range of extra-curricular activities in the school means that there is something for everyone. This gives students the opportunity to learn new skills and make new friends outside the classroom. During the year there were many educational trips organised by different subject departments allowing students to further enhance their learning.
There were several categories where awards were given, these included academic excellence, sporting achievement and areas where students have displayed leadership in the school community. Students, Staff, Parents/Guardians, Board of Management, Parents Association and the wider community were all thanked for their continued support and efforts, all helping to ensure a vibrant school community. Deputy Principal Tina Merriman was praised for her efforts and support in running the school. The contribution of Conor Dempsey who meticulously planned the awards event was highlighted; Liam Sharkey who acted as MC was thanked along with David Lawton who produced the wooden crafted awards. All students sitting state exams were wished the best of luck in their examinations which start on the 5th of June.
The final award Student of the Year was presented to Eoin Sheridan Pope a student who has shown tremendous resilience in the past year always having a positive outlook on life. Eoin was always eager to learn in the classroom setting and was highly regarded by both students and staff in the school.
