Goodbye 6th class!

June 22nd, 2024

Today we said goodbye to our 6th class, the friendliest, kindest, most intelligent and energetic group you could ever meet! We wish them all the best in secondary school and they will be greatly missed by all here in Fanore. As they said themselves in their graduation speech- ‘school will never be the same without them!’ Some pictures and videos from their graduation mass and last days of school.
