Singer Cian Ducrot returned to his former school, St Peter’s Community School, Passage West, this week, where he spent an afternoon reconnecting.
The visit, which was organised as part of the school’s ongoing commitment to fostering connections with alumni, coincided with the making of a documentary for Virgin Media that is being produced on Cian.
It also provided an opportunity for staff to meet the talented musician and hear first-hand about his journey from a student at St Peter’s to an international music artist.
Principal Tony McSweeney commented: “It was great to have Cian back, we got to catch up and chat about his global success, however he was very keen to reminisce on his time in St Peter’s and what a positive relationship he had with staff, and he talked about the different memories he recalled from different parts of our school.
“Cian was drawn to our student leadership wall and I explained that this is our way of recognising and acknowledging student achievement in different aspects of life, both within school and out in the community.”
Mr McSweeney added: "Cian is a wonderful example of how hard work, determination, and staying true to yourself can lead to success. His success has been incredibly inspiring for both our students and staff, and we are so proud of everything he has accomplished.”
Over the past two years the school have also had visits from past pupils such as Michael and Seamus McGrath, Aisling Roche and Laura Russel.
“The visit was a reminder of the powerful role education plays in shaping individuals who go on to make an impact in the world. For the students of St Peter’s, Cian Ducrot's visit was a clear demonstration of the limitless potential they all have within them,” Mr McSweeney added.
