Rewards reaped by St. Colman's students

The students were welcomed to the College to receive their results by the outgoing President, Canon Francis Brown and by Mr Cormac McKinney, the new principal of St Colman’s.

Speaking on the occasion, Canon Brown expressed his delight that the students had achieved excellent results and that very many had already been accepted for their first choice of course at university.

He thanked the parents for their support over the past seven years and also congratulated the teaching staff for their work with the students. He commented that the AS results were very commendable.

Mr McKinney congratulated the students on their excellent achievements at AS and A2 level and said that he looked forward to the students of the college achieving their full potential in all aspects of their academic studies in the years ahead.

He said, "On August 31 we will welcome our new intake of students as we say goodbye to those who have just received their results. May the good work which has taken place during their seven years in St. Colman’s be further developed and enhanced as they move to third level and eventually to the world of work.

"Our wish is that they have benefited significantly from the caring ethos of their Alma Mater."
