Dundalk school to host deferred Leaving Cert exams
Nominated by the State examinations Commission
Local school Coláiste Chú Chulainn has been nominated by the State examinations Commission (SEC) to host the deferred 2023 Leaving Certificate exams for all of Louth over the coming weeks.
Principal Thomas Sharkey explained, “this is the second year ever that a deferred sitting facility has been made available.
“A very small number of students across Louth were unable to sit one or more papers in the main sitting in June due to serious medical condition, accident, injury, or illness and due to close family bereavement. They will have the opportunity to sit the deferred exam from 29th June to the 15th of July.”
“The State Examinations Commission selected one school per county to host these sittings. The modern facilities and accessible nature of our school meant that Coláiste Chú Chulainn was selected.
“We are proud to facilitate this initiative. It brings fairness and accessibility to everybody. The efficient running of this set of exams will allow for results to be issued as soon as possible.”
Principal Sharkey added, “this continued provision for students in extreme circumstances is very welcome. This year, the Leaving Cert results are expected to be issued on Friday 25th August, including for students who take the deferred sitting exams.”
