Leaving Certificate results to be issued on 7 September, Department of Education confirms It comes weeks later than the traditional August results day for the Leaving Cert exams. 2 hours ago 11,198 31 THE DEPARTMENT OF Education has this evening confirmed that Leaving Certificate results will not be available until 7 September. In a statement, Education Minister Norma Foley said the results of the calculated grades system introduced at the height of the pandemic, will come weeks later than the traditional August results date. “The results will be issued on 7 September, so that they will operate seamlessly with the CAO system and UCAS in the UK,” she said. “All of this means that you have certainty that you will be able to use the grades to move on to the next phase of your life, either in work or further study, in the autumn.” ADVERTISEMENT The first round of CAO offers will be out on 11 September. The student portal for the Leaving Certificate Calculated Grades will open for students at 12pm on Monday, where all Leaving Certificate students will be able to confirm that they wish to receive their calculated grades results. Each Leaving Certificate student who has registered for calculated grades when the portal opened initially in May will receive a text message about the portal opening on Monday next. Over 61,000 Leaving Certificate students are eligible to receive Calculated Grades. “I know how important and exciting this moving-on phase of your life is to you, and I am determined to enable you to do that,” Foley said. “So, when you receive a text message next week, please respond and opt-in to receive your grades on the portal.” #OPEN JOURNALISM No news is bad news Support The Journal Your contributions will help us continue to deliver the stories that are important to you SUPPORT US NOW First round offers of places from the CAO system will issue later the same week, on Friday 11 September. “The arrangements for the issuing of results on 7 September means that students hoping to study in Irish colleges and universities will be able to start their courses a few weeks later. “It will also mean that Irish students, hoping to study in Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK, will meet all UCAS deadlines.”

Great activity and excitement at the top of the leaderboard this week. The cyclists are putting in tremendous performances worthy of places in Le Tour de France! Mr Murphy put in a super effort early this morning with a 200km and almost 8 hour “stage” to put him on top of leaderboard, but another brilliant cycling week for our defending leader John O’Dwyer wasn't letting go of his top spot and hangs onto it for a 5th week in a row. PJ Beer drops from 2nd to third place this week but tops the running charts for this week. John Campion moves back up the leaderboard from 7th to 4th. Ms Green jumps back into the top ten this week and is third on the running charts. Ms Dinneen jumps up this week from 8th to 6th and holds 2nd spot in the running leaderboard. At 7th Jack Schurmann returns to the top 10. A rise in a place for Michelle Kearney who is at 8th. A drop down the leaderboard Ms Lineen and Kieran Walsh who complete the top 10. A special mention this week for former student Jack Crowley who completed a half marathon on Saturday. Well done Jack

Well done to all our school community on the many activities during the week. There has been an increase in swimming so hopefully the weather will oblige and this trend will continue as we go forward. With the recent easing of COVID restrictions we will see a return to training for many and a more regular weekly schedule. We still hope to see you all on the leaderboard here over the coming weeks. Also Happy Father's Day to all the Dads, Grandads and Great Grandads out there today! John O'Dwyer continues to dominate at the top of the leaderboard for the 4th week in a row. Well done!! Congrats to Kieran Walsh who has been putting in a fantastic effort all week in raising money for Marymount and is at the top of the running leaderboard this week! Delighted to see some new names on the leaderboards - will you be there next week?? The summer solstice is a time for new beginnings so this may be the perfect time to start a new healthy trend in your life. Happy solstice everyone!
