Long ago, when we spoke of education we talked about the 3 Rs: reading, writing and arithmetic. Nowadays we strive for something better- the 3 As: arts, academics and athletics.
Here in Thurles we are extremely fortunate to have outstanding schools that all champion the 3 As.
The summer holidays are here for almost everyone. Our students are graduating to new classes, schools and contexts and the song hereunder entitled “Time of Our Lives” sung by Tyrone Wells, captures the feelings of joy and sadness our graduating students often feel, as they look forward to their future; but must say fair well to the security of their past and the wonderful 3As education they received.
We wish the graduating students of the Class of 2024 every success for their future endeavours.
Time Of Our Lives.
Vocals: American singer-songwriter Tyrone Wells.
Lyrics: American musician, singer-songwriter and record producer Tim Myers.
Time Of Our Lives.
This is where the chapter ends.
A new one now begins,
Time has come for letting go,
The hardest part is when you know,
All of these years, when we were here, are ending,
But I’ll always remember.
[Chorus]
We have had the time of our lives,
And now the page is turned,
The stories we will write.
We have had the time of our lives,
And I will not forget the faces left behind.
It’s hard to walk away from the best of days,
But if it has to end, I’m glad you have been my friend,
In the time of our lives.
Where the water meets the land,
There is shifting in the sand.
Like the tide that ebbs and flows,
Memories will come and go.
All of these years, when we were here, are ending,
But I’ll always remember.
[Repeat Chorus]
We say goodbye, we hold on tight,
To these memories that never die.
We say goodbye, we hold on tight,
To these memories that never die.
[Repeat Chorus]
I’m glad you have been my friend,
In the time of our lives.
END
