Prize-Giving is one of the highlights of the school year at Oatlands. It is now a well established practice that a well known personality is invited as Guest of Honour. Guests of Honour over the years have included four former Taoisigh – Mr Jack Lynch, Mr Garrett Fitzgerald and Mr Albert Reynolds – Mr John Hume, Ms Mary Harney, Senator Feargal Quinn, the late Senator Gordon Wilson and many other major national figures.

Our Prize-Giving symbolises the educational philosophy of the College which is to promote and support the development of the whole person. The annual ceremony reflects the value we place on academic excellence but it also indicates the vital importance we attach to developing the talents of our students in areas such as sport, music and art. Leadership, service to others and team-work are essential elements in the life of the school community, and their significance is underlined in the major awards presented each year: The Student of the Year Award; The Sports Star of the Year Award; The Leadership Awards and the Principal's Awards.
