St Paul’s High School is delighted to celebrate the outstanding achievements of our pupils in the recent GCE A2, AS Level, and other Level 3 qualifications, which were released on Thursday, 15 August. Our pupils have once again demonstrated their dedication, hard work, and commitment to their studies, resulting in exceptional results that reflect their perseverance and determination.

This year’s cohort has worked tirelessly throughout their academic journey, and their achievements are a testament to the effort they have invested. Their success not only highlights their personal commitment but also the invaluable support they have received from their families and the unwavering dedication of the staff at St Paul’s High School.

Acting Principal, Mr Dáithí Murray, expressed his immense pride in the pupils’ accomplishments, acknowledging the collective effort that has contributed to these stellar outcomes. He commented, “I am incredibly proud of our pupils and the remarkable results they have achieved. Their dedication to their studies has been inspiring, and it is clear that the support from their families, coupled with the guidance and care from our staff, has played a significant role in their success.”

These achievements are particularly remarkable considering the challenges this cohort faced during the Covid-19 pandemic. Their studies were significantly disrupted, with many months of uncertainty and remote learning. Yet, their resilience and determination to succeed shone through, overcoming these unprecedented obstacles to reach the heights they have achieved today. Their success is a powerful testament to their strength of character and adaptability in the face of adversity.

We also recognise the sacrifices made by these pupils and their families during these difficult times. The commitment to their education, even in the face of such extraordinary challenges, is commendable. This resilience has undoubtedly shaped them into stronger individuals, ready to tackle whatever challenges lie ahead in their future endeavours.

In addition to the pupils’ remarkable achievements, I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to the Year Heads who have guided this group over the past two years: Ms Alana McCrink, Mrs Catherine Hughes, Miss Caoibhe Magennis, and Mrs Catríona McCartan. Their leadership, along with the support of their pastoral teams of form teachers, has been invaluable. These dedicated educators have mentored and supported our pupils with great care, ensuring that each individual was encouraged and guided through their academic and personal journeys. Their commitment has been instrumental in the success we celebrate today.

As the Class of 2024 embarks on the next chapter of their lives, Mr Murray extended his best wishes to the departing pupils, encouraging them to carry forward the values and lessons learned at St Paul’s. “We send our warmest wishes to our departing pupils as they begin their new journeys. They leave St Paul’s equipped with not only academic achievements but also the resilience and skills needed to thrive in whatever path they choose to pursue.”

St Paul’s High School, a vibrant all-ability, non-selective, Catholic educational community, is home to over 1,700 pupils.

The school is committed to nurturing the academic and personal growth of every pupil, ensuring that each individual is supported to achieve their best potential.

The recent results are a powerful reminder of the strength and spirit of the school community, and we look forward to continuing this tradition of excellence in the years to come.
