Congratulations, Milo Farioli Vecchioli!

Delighted to share that Milo has been offered his first choice on the CAO — Mathematics at Trinity College Dublin — with an outstanding 613 points in his Leaving Certificate. A truly exceptional achievement.

Our Head Boy and Student of the Year at our Awards Ceremony last May, Milo led with warmth, humility and real integrity, and represented our school with pride every single day.

Trinity is gaining a remarkable young person. Milo, from all the staff and students — congratulations, and thank you for everything.

CAO Offers 2026

What a day for our sixth years! With the CAO offers out today, the news is only starting to filter through to us — and we’re delighted to share a few of the updates that have reached us so far.

⭐ Milo Farioli Vecchioli— Mathematics at Trinity College Dublin

⭐ Denis Doyle— PE and Mathematics at DCU

⭐ Danny Sheehan— Common Entry Business at SETU Waterford

⭐ Lucy Wise— Home Economics at SETU Waterford

⭐ Liam Morrissey— Common Entry Engineering at SETU Waterford

This is just a small handful of our class — we know there are many more brilliant stories out there that we simply haven’t heard yet, and we’d love to be able to share them all. Results day and CAO offers can bring mixed feelings, and if today wasn’t what you hoped for, please know this: points are one route, not the only route.

📩 Wherever you’re heading next, drop Mr. O’Brien an email [email protected] and let him know. We love to follow our students’ journeys and celebrate their successes, and we’d be thrilled to add your news to the list.
