On Thursday 20 October our Annual Academic Awards took place despite a power cut. The candles were not the only bright lights that graced a wonderful evening of celebrating excellence in our school community. Mr Higgins surpassed himself yet again by crafting individual certificates against a backdrop featuring themes of journey and endeavour.

guests

Mr Fitzgerald introduced our guest speakers; Lieutenant David Melvin of the Irish Navy and Troop Commander Colm Fahy of the Irish Defence Forces, both 2003 graduates of PCS. David spoke of the importance of leadership and how he received a grounding in leadership skills in PCS through his teachers mentoring and his extracurricular activities. Colm spoke powerfully about how the resilience he developed through sport and the influence of specific teachers has served him well in his leadership role. Our Student Leader Prefects were of great assistance throughout the evening.

 

Mr Maynes then announced our Leaving Certificate Awards which were presented by David and Colm. Sam Cox received the Gold Medal Award for the best LC results of 2016. Cian O’Brady received the Ger Kenny Cup for Excellence in Mathematics. Christopher McMahon accepted The Principal’s Award for his contribution to School Spirit.

Mr Fitzgerald introduced Mr David Hickey as our guest speaker. He is a former footballer and current selector for Dublin and the current Director of Transplantation. He was awarded two all-stars for Dublin in 1974 and 1976. He won the All Ireland with Dublin on three occasions in 1974, 1976 and again in 1977. David has won two League Medals with Dublin in 1976 and 1978. He is a consultant urologist and transplant surgeon.

Mr Hickey spoke of how we must be true to ourselves and not accept the status quo if we are to make a mark on our world. We must blend compassion with ambition and help the vast majority of the population who are not as privileged as us. His simple and truthful message will echo in the future actions of all who were present.FN_portoaward2

Our annual Academic Achievement Awards mark one of the most important evenings in our school-year, when we celebrate the success of our students following their Junior and Leaving Certificate results.

It is an opportunity also to acknowledge their parents / guardians and teachers for their role in supporting these young people.

Siobhán Moore of the Dublin Airport Authority gave the keynote address. She spoke of motivation at all stages in ones life and commended the students to do the best in all that they undertake. She concluded her presentation with the following poem The Comfort Zone

If you are in a comfort zone
afraid to venture out,
Remember that all winners
were at one time filled with doubt

A step or two and words of praise
can make your dreams come true
Greet your future with a smile,
success is there for you!

The Leaving Certificate Gold Medal Award for best results in PCS was awarded to Holly Herbert (Trinity College Dublin, Science). The Geraldine Kenny Award for Mathematics was awarded to Stephen O’Shea (Trinity College Dublin, Theoretical Physics).

The inaugural Academic Student Achievement Awards took place in Portmarnock Community School on Tuesday 11th October 2011.

These awards acknowledge the academic achievement of the Leaving Certificate and Junior Certificate classes of 2011 and were made to the students who achieved high grades in the recent Certificate examinations.

We are proud of all of our students and salute the success of the 2010/2011 Sixth-year class. We wish them all every success in the future.

The school celebrates the success of students right through their school life with a Subject Award ceremony every May. Transition Year students also have their own ceremonial evening.

Last nights Academic Student Achievement Awards ceremony is part of that process, allowing us to honour Sixth-year students in particular, who achieved excellent results in their Leaving Certificate.

We acknowledged several students by name

James Fagan The best overall Leaving Certificate result
Iomar McManus The best overall Junior Certificate result
Colm Robinson The Principals Award for his outstanding contribution to PCS over the past six years
James Fagan The Mathematics Award for outstanding study and achievement in the Leaving Certificate of 2011
Lucy Archbold First Year Student of the Year 2010/2011
Rhiannon Curtis Davis Second Year Student of the Year 2010/2011
Mark Nolan Third Year Student of the Year 2010/2011
Evan Davis Fourth Year Student of the Year 2010/2011
Sarah Hawkshaw Fifth Year Student of the Year 2010/2011

We want to acknowledge the work of the teachers over the past six years and thank them for both their outstanding dedication to their subject areas and to the students in the school.

Last nights ceremony could not have happened without the work of a committee of teachers who planned the awards, designed the certificates and essentially made the evening the success it was. They were supported by the Sixth-year prefects. The Transition Year Music Class provided musical accompaniment.

    Everything points to Portmarnock community school
