Junior Cycle Results 2024

Tue, Oct 8th, 2024

Dear Parent/Guardian,

The Junior Cycle Results will be issued tomorrow, Wednesday, October 9th. The following are the arrangements for the TY and 5LCA students involved:

  • All students will attend class as normal for Periods 1, 2, 3 and 4.
  • At Period 5 (11.45am), students will be brought to the Canteen and given their results.
  • At the end of Period 5 (12.25pm), students will be allowed to go home.
  • The same arrangements will apply to TY and 5LCA students who were not in the school last year.
  • Thursday is a normal school day and all students are expected to attend from 8.40am.

This year, students may also access their results through a portal - this is the way that Leaving Cert students receive their results. On Thursday,  teachers will help the students access their results in this way and show them how to download and save them for future use.

We hope that all of the students will be happy with the results they receive. I know that you will be anxious to show them how proud you are of them. We would encourage you to ensure that all celebrations are age-appropriate. These are still very young people and I know that their safety is your priority, as it is ours.

Best wishes to everyone concerned.

Kind regards,

John Murphy (Principal).
