New Principal, Mr. Brendan McComb celebrated with staff and students and expressed his pride in the achievements of the GCSE students,
“Today is another day to celebrate the successes of our young people. We had Year 12s receiving final GCSE results after two years of hard work and commitment. It has been a privilege to witness their joy and celebrations today. Here in St Mary’s, we are constantly promoting the benefits of resilience, hard work, self-discipline, ambition and a ‘can-do’ attitude. With the right attitude, anything is possible, and it is clear today that our pupils are buying into this belief and are reaping the rewards. Today we also have Year 11 and Year 10 pupils receiving GCSE module results and they too must be applauded for their mature attitude to work; many have secured excellent results which will give them a strong foundation upon which to build. We look forward to helping them progress their achievements today in the upcoming school year. The successes achieved today by our students simply would not be possible without the investment of school staff and I must pay tribute to our dedicated teachers, learning support tutors, classroom assistants, technicians and peripatetic staff who have all worked tirelessly to guide, motivate and challenge students. Finally, I would like to extend my gratitude and congratulations to all the parents and guardians who support all that we do in St Mary’s and I am certain they too will be feeling very proud of our young people today. We look forward to welcoming many of the Year 12 students back to St Mary’s to commence A Level studies and would also like to wish our school leavers every success.”
