On August 13th students from the class of 2015 returned to Scoil Mhuire to receive their Leaving Certificate results. Students continued our proud tradition, producing outstanding results. These results ensure that students are now able to continue in further education with the majority of students securing their course of choice. Over 16% of students secured in excess of 500 points and this compares with a national rate of around 9%. The percentage of students who gained more than 400 points is in excess of 50% while 70% achieved over 350 points. Congratulations and well done to students, parents and teachers on this remarkable achievement.
