There were plenty of happy faces in Mountmellick Community School this morning as the class of 2024 received their Leaving Cert results.
A number of students received more than 550 and 600 points. While Emer Dunne was the top student with 613 points.
There was also brilliant success for the Leaving Cert Applied programme with 90% of the students who sat it receiving maximum marks.
Principal Larry Curtin paid tribute to all who sat the exams and received results.
He said: “Similar to previous years, our students have done exceptionally well in their Leaving Cert.
“A significant number achieving over 550 points, others over 600 points and our top student, Emer Dunne scoring 613 points.
“We are also delighted to see the excellent results achieved by other students who also achieved their potential and will progress to their chosen area.
“Having introduced the LCA programme in 2022, we are thrilled to see that nine out of the ten students who completed this programme were awarded distinctions which is the maximum possible mark in this Leaving Cert programme.
“This would not have been possible without the assistance of their teachers over the past number of years along with the support of their Parents.
“Having taken the decision to afford students the opportunity to access their results in school as in previous years rather than online, many preferred this option and it was marvellous to see their excitement and delight when opening their result.
“As you can appreciate, we are delighted with the results of our class of 2024 and we are looking forward to their future.”
