Wonderful Junior Certificate Results
Congratulations to our Junior Certificate Students who received their results on 14th September. The class of 2016 produced an outstanding set of results with double digit percentage of ‘A’ grades recorded at higher level. An analysis of results showed over 70% of papers were taken at higher level by students and the rate of A, B and C grades achieved exceeded the national figures throughout the curriculum, with many subject scoring 100% success. A total of 16 subjects were taken by students sitting the examination with higher level Grade ‘A’ recorded in each. A particular word of praise goes to Lisa Finn who scored an impressive 10 ‘A’ grades. Well done to Students, their Parents and Teachers on these fine achievements.
Sunday Times Rankings
The Sunday Time Schools Guide, published August 28th, once again saw Scoil Mhuire come out on top in Kanturk. The rankings, based on entry to university in Ireland 2013-2015, show Scoil Mhuire climb 12 places from last year. The ranking however underestimates the achievements of our students as it fails to take into consideration a considerable number of students who went on to study in the UK, Italy and Austria. Following on from the outstanding results in the Leaving Certificate this year, we look forward to a further rise in the rankings next year. Well done to all
