It would be very remiss of us not to include a photograph of the students and teachers in UCC on Saturday

Its a true partnership with the lads putting in huge efforts with the incredible support of Mr Linehan and Mr Kelly.

So, here we are and well done to all.

At what was a truly wonderful occasion in University Colege Cork,  on Saturday last,  Coláiste Chríost Rí played a central role at the Famine Memorial Event.

The event itself was a memorable occasion adorned by great ceremonial as well as an inspirational oration from Uachtarán na hEireann , Micheal D O hUigín.

Following this, the teachers  and parents  accompanied the students as they made their way to attend  their excellent presentation on the Famine , which was duly visited by  President O hUigín as well as Professor  Patrick O Shea , President of University College Cork, (and past pupil of Coláiste Chríost Rí) 

Uachtarán Ó hUigín then presented the school with a signed copy of 'The Atlas of the Irish Famine' (edited by another past pupil John Crowley of the Department of Geography UCC.) 

We are immensely proud of the students involved , who at all times on Saturday conducted themselves with a maturity beyond their years.

Our sincere congratulations go also  to Mr Seamas Ó Leannacháin and to Mr Barra O Ceallaigh.

The students , pictured here with Uachtarán na hEireann Micheál D O hUigín,  as Professor O Shea prepares the presentation,  were Ben O Conchúir, Marc Ó Conchúir, Sean Meskell, Seosamh Mac Cafraigh, Luke Ó Éaalaithe and Luke O Donnchú. 

It was a truly memorable day - one that will live long in the memory.

Both men are past - pupils and, needless to say, we are immensely proud of both.
