Heather Flynn was awarded Ardscoil Phádraig’s Leaving Certificate Student of the Year.

Granard’s Ardscoil Phádraig have announced their Leaving Certificate Student of the Year.

Presenting the award at their Student Awards ceremony, the school congratulated their now-past pupil Heather Flynn, describing her as a student who demonstrated “exceptional dedication” and an “unwavering diligence to her studies” in all subject areas throughout her six years in Ardscoil Phádraig.

In praising Heather’s progression to third level, the school said, “As a Transition Year student, Heather excelled in the area of Coding and Computer Science during her completion of the Maynooth University STEM Passport Programme and having achieved an excellent set of Leaving Certificate results, it comes as no surprise to see her continue her studies in Science at ATU Galway this year.”

Heather was joined at the awards ceremony by her proud parents, Geraldine and Seamus.

Also in attendance was Ms Miriam Whittle, Manager of Granard Credit Union, the sponsors of Ardscoil Phádraig’s Senior Student of the Year award.
