At Coláiste Eamann Rís in Turner’s Cross, students came into school after getting their results to celebrate together with their friends and teachers.
Principal Aaron Wolfe said: “There’s a fantastic buzz, they’ve done super – this is the day that makes teaching worthwhile for all the staff.
“It’s brilliant to see their success after all the effort and hard work they put in, a really good ending to our time together. They’re going to go on and do wonderful things now, they’re our future.” He added that it was great that so many of them had turned up to share in their joy, saying “it’s a sign that we have a good relationship with them.”
One leaving cert student, Luke Wallace, told The Echo: “I’m happy with myself, I got what I was looking for and I think I did very well,” adding that he was now waiting for CAO results next week.
“I was very nervous about the results but I’m delighted, and so is my family,” he said, adding that celebrations were in order now.
Fionn Sheehan said he was pleased with all his results, particularly his H1 in maths: “The exam went well, everything went perfectly on the day it all went my way and it’s thanks to my maths teacher who did extra classes with us.
“I’m absolutely delighted overall, I got 523 and I only needed 460 so I doubt the points for my course will go up 60.”
