That was this morning and I did the choir in Koroit church. It was our end of year mass, as distinct from a graduation mass. The teachers did the readings and Fr Bill said some nice words. Carmel, the DP organised the ceremony and the Preps presented the Grade Sixes with a present while the choir sang 'An Irish Blessing'. Carmel has organised all the masses and sacraments this year and they are always lovely ceremonies with the minimum of fuss. After communion I sang 'There is a Place' by Liam Lawton. It was very appropriate.
Then we all went back to the school hall for some refreshments, speeches and presentations. A nice idea was that all the parents who were leaving the school got a bottle of wine from the P&F. We finished with the Rock band singing 'The Bucket Song' by Kings of Leon and all the Grade Sixes singing 'Lean on Me'. Loads of people came up to say goodbye and to thank me. It was nice. I will miss it here, it was a home away from home but I am looking forward to going home also.
