GRADUATION LITURGY 2020

SENIOR POEM Zachary Judge

I’ll tell you now a story of a boy with his life ahead, He sat at home with a world of thoughts, crowded in his head.

An endless number of questions came of this, that and the other.

Who better to get an answer from – none other than his brother?

“What’s it like at Iggy?”

“Your first day will be crazy, With lots to see and do, But really, it’s no biggy.”

Unimpressed by such an answer, this boy knew he would just have to wait and see.

So, came the day in hat and shorts to match his brother in blue, Out of the car he hopped, pulling on his freshly shined shoes.

Looking like an Iggy boy with his shirt in and socks up, He embarked on his long journey to become a grown-up.

In the Hall this boy was told to sit down by a giant, Nervous and apprehensive, he was more than compliant.

This giant promised that his time at Iggy would be great, But the only thing he could think was where he’d find a mate.

At first the ‘Park was filled with fear, Our days of blue and white were here.

Seek truth, work hard and nurture our relationships with one another, We learned these priceless words from Kearney, Conn, and Brother.

Ever since we started here, we have been a trial run, But that never stopped us from having our own fun.

Sometimes, if we carried on too much for our own good, We’d spend some time here after school, until we understood.

We were the first year-sevens, our place in history clear, This blessed place has given us more confidence than fear.

Standing now I feel proud to wear this uniform and this crest, As my heart beats with pride, beneath it, here in my chest.

The legend of becoming an old boy seemed far away, But now we leave as part of that legacy here today.

A lot has changed at this great college, And a few things I should acknowledge, Mr Clarke became our new Principal, Gone are the days of Gaelic Football.

Boys came and went from the roll of our Homeroom, But perhaps most devastating of all, Nutella is gone from the Toast Room.

Despite such incredible change, Our love of this place could not estrange.

For some we will part and go our own way, But the memory of the boys will stay.

I’m glad to say we got amongst it, had a dig and made some memories long the way.

So, after my time here, was my brother right?

He was.

Iggy is a crazy place with a whole lot to take in, But it’s also a place of brotherhood as strong as kin.

Thank you Iggy for the giving me a family 1200 strong, And for teaching me what is right from wrong.

To the boys in front of me, you will hold a place in my heart, Don’t ever let our futures keep us apart.
