The Principal, Mr McLoughlin, praised the commitment and efforts of the pupils in their studies while paying tribute to the vital support given by their parents, commenting that they should be very proud of the achievements of their sons and daughters.  He congratulated all the students on their outstanding results and wished them well as they pursue their future career pathways.
