CBS students celebrate their Junior Cert results with Principal Mr O'Donnell

The principal Mr O’Donnell said he was delighted with the results on Wednesday.
This was especially true because of the exceptional challenges the 100 students of this year’s Junior Cert class had to face in their first two years because of the Covid-19 pandemic and delays in receiving the marks this year. He said:
“We were very happy with the results. They were excellent.
“Across the board, this was the first year where all subjects were graded using the new junior cycle descriptor. Before this, there would have been a mixture, but this is the first year they are getting the new descriptors from ‘distinctions’ and ‘merits. “And we were delighted to see higher merits (75-90%) and distinctions (90% plus) in several subjects.
“The great results must also be taken in the context of where the students found themselves in first and second year and how they were going to do. But I must say that we were delighted with what they all achieved.
“They would have faced a lot of interruptions to their learning in those years, and the delay in issuing the results, over the lack of correctors, has been acknowledged by the SEC (State Examinations Commission).”
