 <\/p>\n

Addressing the graduates, Deputy Principal of Ormonde College John Kavanagh commented, \u201cWhat you have achieved is a tribute to your spirit, character and resilience. For all that it has taken away, the last two years has made us aware of our strengths, of our very own superpowers. You are now indelibly written into the history of Ormonde College because you entrusted your future and your aspirations to the college at a time of enormous challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n
