Top GCSE success recognised

Three students from St Paul’s High School who achieved top grades in Northern Ireland had their achievements recognised at a special ceremony in the Bessbrook school recently.

Chair of Governors, Mr John Campbell, presented tokens to Niall Campbell, Jessica Smyth and Ciara Savage, and to their respective teachers.

Niall Campbell achieved second place in Northern Ireland in GCSE Irish, while completing the exam as a second year pupil, while Ciara Savage achieved third place in Northern Ireland in GCSE Irish.  Jessica Smith achieved third place in Northern Ireland in GCSE Home Economics: Child Development.

Mr Campbell paid tribute to the students’ achievements, and congratulated them and their teachers on their hard work and dedication.  Mr Campbell congratulated Jessica’s Child Development teacher, Mrs Brenda Fegan, Niall’s teacher, Miss Ciara McCoy, and Ciara’s teacher, Mr Jarlath Burns.

Mr Campbell wished the students well in their future studies and encouraged them to continue to aim for the highest grades in all their subjects.  Thanking the students’ parents for their continued support, Mr Campbell acknowledged their significant role in the students’ success.
