Junior Cycle Results

Congratulations to all of our students who received their Junior Cycle results. We are so proud of you all and your superb results. Thank you to the teachers and parents/guardians who supported our students on their learning journey.

Sarah takes GOLD at the Connacht Schools Combined Event in Athlone

Sarah pulled off what a dramatic last ditch effort to claim the GOLD in the Minor Girls event for St. Clare’s Comprehensive School Manorhamilton. Going into the last event, Sarah was over 220 points behind the leader, but she pulled off a magnificent 800m coming home over 20 seconds ahead of the leader to win by only 3 points. This was the closest event ever.

Despite Sarah carrying a foot and leg injury, competing in her first ever high jump, and not at her best at any of the events, she will be delighted with the result and have lots of room for improvement before the All Ireland finals in November.placeholder image
