📚 State Examinations 2026 📚

Wishing all our Junior Cycle & Leaving Certificate students every success in their State Examinations.

Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
and do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make straight your paths.

⚫️🔴 TY Celebration 2026 ⚫️🔴

Congratulations to the Transition Year class of 2026 on all their achievements and accomplishments throughout the year.

We were delighted to mark the occasion tonight in the Sports Hall and our sincere thanks goes to ALL who helped make the occasion a HUGE success!

Our guest speaker for the evening was past-pupil Rebekah Greer who shared her journey since completing her Leaving Cert in 2019. She inspired the students to work hard, make the most of all opportunities and to trust God through the ups and downs of life.

Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart ❤️

🗓️ 6th Year Leavers Service 🗓️

Today we celebrated our wonderful 6th Year students at their Leavers’ Service. It was a special opportunity to reflect on the memories, friendships, achievements, and experiences shared throughout their time with us.

As they prepare to begin the next chapter, we want to wish each and every one of them God’s richest blessing in their Leaving Certificate examinations and in the exciting future that lies ahead.

Work hard, believe in yourselves, and remember how far you have already come. We are incredibly proud of you all and look forward to seeing all that you will achieve.

Best Wishes to the Class of 2026! 🌟
