Farewell to the Class of 2023
Care and respect is at the heart of everything we do
At their recent school graduation Principal
Mr Milling spoke to the students and
their families at the start of the service in
the school Chapel. He urged them to be the
very best version of themselves and said
that it has been a pleasure getting to know
them during his first year as Principal in
the school. Later at a special dinner in the
school dining room, their Year Head Mr
Mahony had some advice and memories to
share with the students. It was
a lovely event with
their parents,
guardians and
teachers. Mr Mahony said “I would like to
wish the Class of 2023 every success in
their Leaving Certificate exams, and continued
prosperity in their subsequent chosen
paths. In a busy school environment, it
can be a challenge to let students know
how much they are appreciated. When the
end comes near, and you have time to reflect,
it is important to let students know
how well they have done, and how it’s been
a pleasure to work with
them, from a
teacher’s
perspective.
This year group, as a collective,” he
commented, “have been wonderful to work
with, and it is a sentiment shared by my
teacher colleagues. The collective, of
course, is made of dynamic, unique individuals.”
He concluded by thanking the
students, reminding them that they are the
Wilsonians of 2023, for what they have contributed
to the school during their time
there.
As their time as students in Wilson’s Hospital
School ends and we wish them every
good wish for the future, the Principal, Mr
Milling has a very special message for the
Class of 2023:
“As we approach the end of the school
year,” he said, “I send my encouragement,
thanks and good wishes to the Class of
2023. You have weathered the storm and
are now bringing the ship into harbour.
Your fortitude, good grace and determined
outlook will stand to you as you face into
your future. You are Wilsonians. That
means something. Be proud of the fact that
we were as grateful to have you here as you
were as gracious to work with us in your
time here. Res Non Verba.”
There were
plenty of
opportunities for
lovely photos in
front of the
school to start the
school graduation
celebrations.
Naoise, Tyana,
ElleAnna, Caoimhe,
Sophie, Ameera,
Leila, Aoibhín and
Robyn were enjoying
the moment.
Thank you to Head Girl, Isobel Clerk and Head Boy,
Izaak Bannister for all their work all year in
representing the school.
Every good wish to the Class of 2023. You will always be Wilsonians!
