LEAVING CERTIFICATE RESULTS 2015

OUTSTANDING RESULTS BY THE CLASS OF 2015

We congratulate the boys, their parents and teachers and the whole school community on these results. Marvellous; amongst the many highlights:

• 17 boys scored over 600 points

• 351 as in higher level papers

• 95 boys (48.2%) attained over 500 points

• 131 boys attained over 450 points (66.5%)

• 82.7% scored over 400 points

Each statistic referenced above represents a new high!

The class of 2015 has produced great results both across the curriculum and as importantly in a mixed-ability school across the ability spectrum.

We encourage each boy to be the best he can be, to extend himself but also to bring out the best in those around him. The message is hard work pays off. Team work pays off.

The class of 2015 lived up to, indeed, surpassed our very high expectations of them. We thank them for their leadership, the example they have given to the school and the high standards they have set. They have given so much to Blackrock, to the arts and academics of course, but also across the sporting, spiritual and pastoral domains.

Well done – we are very proud of you as you should be of yourselves. You have passed on the baton, you have left a wonderful legacy.

Class of 2016 – over to you.
