LEAVING CERTIFICATE RESULTS
2017
HARD WORK AND PERSEVERANCE PAYS OFF!
Well done to the Class of 2017 on delivering very good results. We congratulate the Boys, their Parents and Teachers and the whole school Community on their efforts and deserved outcome.
Amongst the many highlights:
- 12 Boys scored over 600 points with 5 achieving the ‘perfect 625’. One student was in the country’s ‘top 13’ with 8 H1’s.
- 64 Boys (32.3%) attained over 500 points
- 107 Boys achieved over 450 points (54%)
- 72.3% scored over 400 points
The Class of 2017 has surpassed expectation at all levels of the ability spectrum. Blackrock is a mixed ability school and these results affirm the value added.
We encourage each boy to be the best he can be, but also to bring out the best in those around him. The message is hard work pays off. Team work pays off.
We thank the Class of 2017 for their commitment, determination, leadership and resilience. They have maintained our tradition and have given so much to the Arts and Academics of course, but also across the Sporting, Spiritual and Pastoral domains during their time in the College.
Well done – We wish you well
CLASS OF 2018 – OVER TO YOU.
