Bunscoil na Toirbhirte, Mitchelstown, Co. Cork
6th Class Graduation
Our 6th Class Graduation took place on Tuesday, 23 June, 2026 and it truly was a wonderful celebration of an exceptional group of girls and their journey through Bunscoil.
Our school motto, “From Little Acorns Great Oaks Grow,” beautifully reflects their story. For many of these girls, that journey began eight years ago when they first walked through our doors as excited, enthusiastic little acorns. Others joined us along the way as young saplings. Each of them put down strong roots in Bunscoil, flourished during their time with us and has grown into a confident, kind and thoughtful young ladies, ready for the next exciting chapter in secondary school.
Throughout their years here, they have been wonderful ambassadors for our school and outstanding role models for the younger classes. We are immensely proud of everything they have achieved through their hard work, determination and friendship. Graduation is a celebration of all they have accomplished, the friendships they have made and the memories they will carry with them long after they leave Bunscoil.
A heartfelt thank you to our parents for their constant support and partnership throughout the years. We also extend our sincere thanks to all of the staff who have helped nurture and guide these girls, especially their teachers and SNA’s this year, Ms. Flynn, Ms. Bailey, Ms. Sheehan and Mr. Dineen, for their dedication, encouragement and care.
Most of all, we celebrate these wonderful girls. They have brought so much to our school community and have made us incredibly proud. While we will miss them dearly, we know they are ready for the next stage of their journey. We wish every one of them happiness and success in their new secondary schools. They will always be part of the Bunscoil family, and we have no doubt they will continue to grow into the great oaks they were always destined to become.

Senior Infant Boys Graduation
As the school year comes to a close, we bid a fond farewell to our Senior Infant Boys, who will begin exciting new chapters in their lives this September.
On Wednesday, 24th June, we held a special Graduation Party for our wonderful Senior Infant Boys to celebrate their time in Bunscoil na Toirbhirte. It was a fun occasion filled with memories, laughter, and pride. The boys listened to stories from their time at school, received graduation certificates, and celebrated with a fun pizza party!
A heartfelt thank you to their dedicated teachers, Ms. Walsh, Ms. Kirby, Ms Hyland, Ms Linehan, Ms Conway and their SNA’s Ms Keating, Ms Conway and Ms Power for the care, encouragement, and guidance they provided the boys throughout the year.
We are so proud of our boys and wish them every success and happiness as they move on to their new schools!
