Leaving Cert: CPC students 'excelled'

Congratulations to the class of 2022, who received their Leaving Certificate results this morning, writes the Principal of CPC, Joe Leonard. The format for receiving results was slightly different again this year, with students accessing results via the self service portal rather than in school. The school also received a matrix of the overall results and I am delighted to say that the class of 2022 has excelled.   

Following a difficult couple of years managing the challenges of Covid-19, this group of students demonstrated tremendous resilience and maturity in their approach to the examinations. The results today are a reward for their hard work. While the points system is not relevant to many students (or a desirable way to measure their achievements) it does nonetheless allow for some general observations of the group. 

Almost a quarter of the students are celebrating over 500 CAO points this evening, with many over 600 (even the maximum 625!). Half of the students achieved greater than 400 points. Our Leaving Certificate Applied students are also celebrating outstanding results — almost three quarters achieving the highest possible grade. 

I would like to extend my thanks and congratulations to the staff of CPC for their dedication to this group and special word of congratulations to the parents, guardians and families of the class of 2022 — your support and guidance has been key. To those receiving results today, remember that we are here to support you in the coming days and weeks if you need any advice. Information continues to be shared via the school app or under the News section on cpckilcullen.com.
