Congratulations to all our Transition Year students on their wonderful Junior Certificate results. The majority of students exceeded expectations and reaped the rewards of all their hard work over the last three years.

Special mention to two students, Megan and Vita, who received 11 As each – what a fantastic achievement.

Congratulations also to the many other students who achieved multiple As across all subject areas. The top five students achieved no less than 50 As!

A sincere thank you to all their teachers who have prepared them so well for this exam and who continue to encourage them to reach their full potential as they proceed into Senior Cycle.
