Dear Principal
Thank you for your continued support with the preparations for the 2023 examinations.
As we get closer to the written examinations, we continue to require your assistance in communicating some very important messages to Junior Cycle and Leaving Certificate Candidates.
As you are aware, we have migrated to online marking of candidates’ examination answers on a phased basis over the last number of years. We have found this to be a very positive experience for all, including for examiners in the marking of scripts and for Leaving Certificate candidates when it comes to the viewing of scripts.
We have prepared a short video which sets out some very important information to candidates in relation to the completion of their examinations and we require your assistance in ensuring that the video is brought to the attention of candidates. The video contains key messages for candidates including:
This video can be found under the heading Information for Candidates at https://www.examinations.ie/?l=en&mc=ex&sc=e23
We would greatly appreciate if you would bring this to the attention of Leaving Certificate and Junior Cycle candidates in your school as follows:
With your assistance, we can ensure that Candidates are aware of the key requirements to ensure that their scripts are processed effectively.
Regards,

This week, our Hub Horticulture Students are enjoying the fruits of their labour with Ms. Cashin. They made a lovely salad with leaves and vegetables they grew in the polytunnel. They have had a jam packed year, with trips to White Strand Beach Abbeyside, Mount Congreve in Waterford and the making of lovely Christmas centre pieces among the highlights. Well done to all involved.
Many thanks to Ms. Cashin and all of the SNAs who worked with the students in horticulture class this year.
State Examinations Commission has today, announced its intention to issue the 2023 Leaving Certificate and Leaving Certificate Applied examination results to candidates on Friday 25 August.
The intended Leaving Certificate results day of Friday 25 August is a full week earlier than the 2022 results date. This follows extensive work by the SEC to improve the timeline to the greatest possible degree taking account of all of the factors which feed into the process and ensuring adequate time for extensive checks and balances.
