Record Leaving Cert results at Rockwell College

A record number of pupils at Rockwell College achieved over 500 points when the Leaving Certificate results were issued last Wednesday. Over 32 percent of the candidates reached this level in comparison to around 13 percent nationally, with 15 percent achieving over 550 points. All the candidates were delighted with their results, in particular the pupils who repeated their Leaving Certificate at the College.

More than half of this group achieved over 500 points.
