The Leaving Cert class of 2025 at Ballymahon Vocational School  are celebrating ‘excellent results’ today. 

Principal Mick O’Rourke and Deputy Principal Orla Calvey stated that these excellent results are a wonderful reflection of a close collaboration of work between all partners within the BVS community, “our wonderful Leaving Certificate students, our hard working teaching team here in our school, our super support structures in Guidance, Home School, School Completion Team and the support of Parents, Guardians and our diligent Special Needs Assistants Team.”

Mr O’Rourke and Ms Calvey stressed that they were confident in the success of the class of 2025. 

“They have always shown tremendous engagement and attitude towards their learning, their school and their community. This group has been a pleasure for us to work with here at Ballymahon Vocational School,  to get to know, support and nurture. They have brought us on a very enjoyable journey these past six years and today we wish them a fond farewell for now.

The BVS principal and deputy principal continued, “Our school motto 'Where the Individual Matters' comes to the fore today as we see each individual student achieve their personal best, providing them with a launchpad to the next part of their adventure be that university, training, further education or into the world of work. 

 

“Over the years we have gotten to know each student very well and so it makes it all the more special to see their very fine results today allow them to start new adventures in the weeks and months ahead.”
