IT’S been a long wait, but students who sat their exams in Tralee schools back in June finally received their Leaving Certificate results on Friday morning.

While the results can be accessed online and mailed out to students, some schools in town invited them in to meet with former classmates and discuss the results.

At CBS The Green, one student was celebrating top marks, achieving 725 points. Denis  Brosnan from Ballymac received seven H1s and was understandably delighted with his results.

“I was nervous this morning as you never know really, but I had put in the work so I thought I did well. Seven H1s was more than I expected though!” said Denis, who plans on studying Finance at UCC.

“He deserved it,” said his proud mother, Doris Blackwell. “He worked extremely hard and it paid off. He’s very grateful to all his teachers and the staff at CBS The Green who helped him along the way,” said Doris.

Principal of CBS The Green, Anne O’Callaghan, congratulated Denis and all the students on their results.

“He’s an outstanding young man, it’s the first time we’ve had a student receiving 725 points at the school. We had a number of students with over 600 points and they deserve it,” said Ms O’Callaghan who wished all the students well in their quest for third-level places.

It was the final time students gathered at the Gaelcholáiste Chiarraí in Moyderwell to receive their results (their new school near UHK will be ready well before next year’s Leaving Cert).

Students met up and were greeted by some teaching staff and Príomhoide Gaelcholáiste Chiarraí, Ruairí Ó Cinnéide.

“We are delighted with the results achieved by this year’s Leaving Certificate students at and we congratulate them on their success,” said Mr Ó Cinnéide.

“Following a challenging final two years to their second level education, it is great to see their hard work rewarded with such exceptional results.  Overall the students and their families are extremely happy with their achievements and we are extremely proud of all our students.

“Notably over 70% of the students in Gaelcholaiste Chiarraí achieved over 400 points, while three students achieved the maximum 625 points,” he added.

Over at Presentation Secondary School, Principal, Chrissie Kelly, congratulated the students and wished the well for the future.

“Considering the two years the girls have put down, they showed tremendous resilience and received excellent results,” she said.

“Many achieved better results than they thought they would. Everyone who has come in to us is exceptionally happy today, which is testament to the hard work they put in. We’re extremely proud of all the students,” added the Principal.

Over in Mercy Mounthawk, a large crowd of students came to the school to meet up and discuss their results. Principal John O’Roarke was effusive in his praise for the students and the work they put in over the years.

“We’re very pleased with this year’s results. The students acquitted themselves very well under conditions that were difficult for them over the past few years. We had a number of students who achieved 625 points,” he said.

“I hope that when the offers of places come out on September 8 that all students get their chosen course. However, I want to remind students that there are numerous pathways to their destination and that is something they need to remember as they await offers of college places,” added Mr O’Roarke.
