Success For St Brigid's GCSE Students

 

Top honours in GCSE went to St Brigid's students Mark O'Neill and Jamie Bailie who are pictured with Principal Mr Enda Cullen

Staff and students at St Brigid's were delighted with GCSE results achieved by students from the school at the end of August, with many candidates receiving top grades A* - C in the examinations.

This years GCSE results were the best ever achieved in the history of the school with eighteen students achieving five or more grades A*-C, representing more than 35% of students in Year 12.

Top performing students were Jamie Bailie, Mark O'Neill, Tony Kennedy, Sean Donnelly and Patrick Tierney who each achieved nine grades A* - C, closely followed by Michael Toner, Dane Loughran Stephen Geraghty, Christopher Kane and Paul McCusker with eight top grades. In all 92% of St Brigid's students achieved at least five grades A* - G in this years GCSE examinations, the best results ever for the popular Armagh School.

Results were especially good in Information Technology, where two boys achieved A* grades with nineteen others getting A - C grades, Social and Environmental Studies with thirty top grades, Road Traffic Studies with twenty one and Technology where 17 boys got grades A - C. Thirteen students studying English achieved top grades. St Brigid's Science Department also enjoyed success with two students achieving AA grades and a further nine getting grades A - C. In fact all subject areas in the school enjoyed better examination results than ever before.

Principal Mr Enda Cullen praised his students and pointed to the huge investment in IT in St Brigid's over the past few years. "This has undoubtedly helped to motivate our students and has played an important part in raising standards. However, we must give credit where it is due. This success could not have been achieved without the hard work and dedication of the boys themselves. They worked hard throughout their time at St Brigid's and now they are enjoying their just rewards. Well done to all of you."

Vice Principal Mr Eamonn O'Hagan pointed out that it was important that children were happy in school if they were to achieve their potential. "The children in St Brigid's enjoy life here together in a happy and caring atmosphere. They enjoy a safe and secure environment where they are free to pursue their studies with the help of caring, professional teachers."

St Brigid

The first day of February heralds the feast of St. Brigid, La Fheile Bride. St Brigid has many connections with the Armagh area and we are proud to have her as our patron saint.

Little is known of St. Brigid but much folklore surrounds her life.

She was born in Faughart, Co. Louth. Her mother was a Christian named Brocessa. Her father was Dubhthach, a pagan chieftain. Brigid's youth was not a happy one. Legend has it that the St. Brigid's cross was first made by Brigid as she sat by the bedside of a dying chieftain. She explained what it meant to be a Christian as she wove the cross from rushes which covered the floor. She showed care, especially for those who were weak and vulnerable. St. Brigid was a friend of St. Patrick.

Discipline Policy

Each member of staff in their role as Form Teacher is responsible for a class of students and it is their responsibility to concern themselves with the personal welfare of the student in their charge. It is our intention that every boy is known well by his Form Teacher to ensure that small problems don't become large problems through neglect, and that we create a truly caring environment essential for the development of the self-esteem of boys in our care. We believe that high standards of behaviour should be adhered to by every student. The standard of behaviour that we expect is set out in our Code of Conduct.

At St. Brigid's we are building a caring, respectful, compassionate school in which every person feels accepted, valued and trusted. In such an environment bullying cannot be tolerated. Neither fighting nor smoking are tolerated and students are made aware that they may be suspended for these offences. Close co-operation between school and home ensures that problems are dealt with quickly and effectively.

Pastoral Care Provision

Vice-principal: Pastoral Care Co-ordinator.

Head of Year: Responsible for general welfare of all pupils of their group.
