IT was a record-breaking year for Leaving Cert results at Mercy Mounthawk, so it was only fitting that these students were honoured at the school on Saturday.
An incredible 22 students achieved over 600 points in the State Exams this year, far exceeding previous records. The school had 38% of students achieving over 500 points compared to 27% nationally, while they had 10% over 600 points compared to 6% nationally.
The students, who are in third level institutions around the country, came back with their parents to the school to receive special awards for their achievement.
