Leaving Certificate 2021

We are very proud of our Leaving Cert Class of 2021. Their results overall were excellent. Four students achieved over 600 points with one student receiving 7H1s and another student receiving 6H1s. Our principal, Ms. Donohue, would like to congratulate the students as well as their teachers, SNAs, parents and guardians for their great work and support. The LC 2021 Class had a very different experience over their two senior years but throughout the two years they were a hardworking and good humoured group who were a pleasure to work with. They showed great resilience and care for one another which will help them as they move on to college, apprenticeships and the world of work. We wish them the very best.
