Students from St. Anthony's Special School had another successful graduation and awards day recently when two school leavers Rebecca Walsh and Angelika Caplap were presented with their Graduation Yearbooks and commemorative plaques from Johnny Mee Chairperson as they completed their education at St. Anthony's.

It was a great day for the students and staff at St. Anthony's as families and friends gathered to celebrate another successful year and send out more students into the adult world. The staff and management at the school are to be commended on their great work with the young students who attend the school and we join with them as we wish the graduates the very best of luck as they move into their adult lives.
