Excellent Leaving Certificate Results 2017
On August 16th students from the class of 2017 returned to Scoil Mhuire to receive their Leaving Certificate results. Students continued our proud tradition, producing outstanding results.
Students this year were graded under the new system, H1 – H8 at higher level and O1 – O8 at ordinary level.
These results ensure that students are now able to continue in further education with the majority of students securing their course of choice.
Students this year received results in an impressive range of 22 subjects. Almost 45% of students took the higher level maths examination with all securing the bonus 25 points.
Once again this year Scoil Mhuire students performed better than students nationally in securing in excess of 500 points.
The percentage of students who gained more than 400 points stands at almost 50% while in excess of 60% achieved over 350 points.
Congratulations and well done to students, parents and teachers on this remarkable achievement.
