2025 Marian College Foundation Scholarship and past pupil success.

All Preference Applicants from Our Lady Star of the Sea School meet Priority One of Marian College's enrolment scheme meaning this is a fantastic pathway and opportunity for our girls.
A huge congratulations to Niamh Savage for being awarded the Marian College Foundation Scholarship for 2025. It was a very proud moment getting this phone call from Mary-Lou Davidson (Marian Principal) to share in Niamh's incredible achievement. This meant that Niamh scored the highest mark in the entrance assessments.
Adding to this elation, this is the second year in a row a Year 8 girl from our school has been awarded this scholarship. Last year it was Amelie Hignett. Amelie has continued to thrive at Marian and received the cup for overall Academic excellence in Year 9 at Marian's end of year prize-giving. .
This is a very proud time at our school for all that have contributed to both Niamh and Amelie's successes.
