St Patrick's College pupils celebrate their achievements

St Patrick's College students are celebrating their achievements this week as they prepared to take up courses in a range of Higher Education institutions, including the University of Ulster, the University of Abertay and Edinburgh College of Art.

Sixty-seven of all results achieved in the school were between A*-C, while 47% of the results were within the A*-B range.

‘We are delighted at the success of our pupils in their A Level courses’, commented Principal, Mrs Magee. ‘I would like to congratulate all of the students, who have worked hard throughout their two years in Sixth Form, and have put a lot of effort into the courses they have been studying.

“31 % of the results achieved by our pupils were at A* or A grade, an outstanding achievement by pupils in a non-selective school”.

Mrs Magee also expressed her congratulations and thanks to her staff, for the support and guidance they have given to the students during their A Level courses, and also to the parents of the pupils, for their unfailing encouragement and support of their children during a very busy two years.

She also thanked the pupils for their participation in other areas of school life, including the service many provided as members of the School Committee, School Council, or as Mentors to more junior pupils.

“These young people have embodied the College’s Mission Statement of living and practising our faith and our commitment to one another’, she said.

“They have made an excellent contribution to the life of our school, and have developed into fine young people, ready to fulfil their potential as they move on in their lives.

“We are particularly pleased that a number of our A Level students came to us at the end of their GCSE studies in other schools, and their results are testament to how well they have settled into life in St Patrick’s.

“We wish all of our students every success in the future, as they progress to Further and Higher Education courses, and into the world of work’ said Mrs Magee.

“They have provided an excellent example to the younger pupils, and have been excellent role models”.
