There was great excitement in Clonaslee College as the Class of 2026 received their Leaving Certificate results. Renowned for its strong academic record, Clonaslee College once again celebrated excellent results amongst their small cohort of 27 Leaving Certificate Established and 8 Leaving Certificate Applied candidates.
Amongst our Leaving Certificate established candidates, 40% of candidates received in excess of 400 points and 20% received over 500 points. The Leaving Certificate Applied (LCA) group also impressed, with 40% of the class earning Distinctions, a great achievement that reflects their hard work and the support they received throughout the year.
The school was proud to welcome so many students and their families back this morning to mark their achievements. Principal Sean Cotter said he was delighted with the results in his first year as principal and especially proud of the students, having seen first-hand the hard work and commitment they put in throughout the year.
‘Clonaslee College is delighted to congratulate the Leaving Certificate Class of 2026 on their excellent results. The staff would like to acknowledge not only their academic achievements but also the young people they have become during their time at Clonaslee College. We are extremely proud of each and every one of our Leaving Certificate students. While today is a day to celebrate their results and the hard work that went into achieving them, our pride in this group goes far beyond grades or points. Over the years, we have had the privilege of watching these students grow and mature into wonderful young adults. They have contributed enormously to the life of our school and have represented Clonaslee College with great pride.
They have taken full advantage of the individual attention they received in the small class sizes we offer here in Clonaslee. Therefore, I would like to acknowledge our dedicated teaching and support staff, who have worked tirelessly with this group throughout their time in school. Their commitment, encouragement and genuine care for our students is something we value greatly at Clonaslee College. Today marks the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. Coming from my previous role as a Guidance Counsellor, I’m delighted to see our students progressing to third-level education, apprenticeships, further education, training and employment and wish them every success and happiness in whatever path they choose. I have no doubt that these students will join the long line of successful Clonaslee College alumni. On behalf of the entire staff and school community, I would like to congratulate the Class of 2026. We hope they look back fondly on their years at Clonaslee College and know that they will always remain an important part of our school community.’
