Primary Education graduate, Aoife Daly, from Buttevant, had double cause for celebration after achieving ‘top of her class’ status at the annual Hibernia College conferring ceremony, which was held at Dublin’s Convention Centre recently.
In addition to receiving her Master’s qualification, Aoife was honoured with the INTO Vere Foster Medal – awarded by the Irish National Teachers’ Organisation (INTO) for ‘Outstanding Performance in School Placement’.
A teacher at Convent Primary School, Mallow, Aoife was one of over 930 graduates from all 26 counties to qualify with a Master’s in Primary and Post-Primary teaching, or with a Postgraduate Diploma in Inclusive and Special Education.
Congratulating her, Dr. Mary Kelly, Academic Dean at Hibernia College, said that all who were graduating will help shape futures, inspire change, and contribute to the betterment of society in ways that extend far beyond the classroom.
