The Kilbride Suite of Kilkenny’s Ormonde Hotel was full to capacity on Friday night as Ormonde College of Further Education staged its annual awards conferring ceremony. Staff, award recipients and their relatives gathered to enjoy the occasion as over 250 individual awards were conferred on successful learners. The role of Master of Ceremonies was fulfilled by staff member Margie Wall and there was a palpable atmosphere of celebration as former students were conferred with the fruit of their labours and became reacquainted with classmates and tutors.
Guests of Honour included chairperson of Co. Kilkenny VEC Cllr. Mary Hilda Cavanagh and Chairperson of the Board of Management Cllr. Marie Fitzpatrick, Kilkenny Senior Hurling team captain and current all-star holder Brian Hogan who brought Liam McCarthy along with him when presenting the awards to the Sport and Recreation award recipients. The standing of the college in the community was also reflected by the fact that awards were presented by Mr. Tony Coy of the Kilkenny branch of the Irish Wheelchair Association and Mr. P.J. Carter from C & C Security who made the official presentation to the students of the Security Studies programme.
Students of the Beauty Therapy programme at Ormonde College of FE can be forgiven for being slightly awestruck at the commencement of their course in September. The College has just re-located one of its training facilities to the former presbyterian church adjacent to the college on Ormonde Road. A building that is as historically significant as the college building itself, the picturesque, small scale, church was built in 1839t o designs prepared by Charles Anderson (1802-69) making a pleasant impression on the visual appeal of Ormonde Road and Patrick Street Lower.
Ormonde College of FE extends it’s congratulations and best wishes to students of the college on their assessment sucess. FETAC have released their results and the overall picture have been described by John Kavanagh, Deputy Principal, as ‘outstanding’. The exceptionally high number of ‘Distinction’ grades achieved is just reward for the hard work and endeavour of the staff and students of the college over the past year.
