At the close of each academic year Coláiste Dún an Rí host an evening of excellence awards. This is an invitation event were parents of students who have achieved excellence in their academic work, extra-curricular or sporting achievements are recognised in a formal setting. The night also features guest speakers.

In the past we have had special guests such as Mr Aogán Ó Fearghaíl and Ms. Catherina McKiernan. This year we were joined by Mr Colm O'Rourke, former All-Ireland winning footballer for Meath and current principal of St. Patricks Classical school Navan. Mr O'Rourke has also made a name for himself through his punditry with RTÉ.
