Congratulations to Coach Damian O’Brien, and well done to all the players for their outstanding performance in this match.

This is your big year and with that comes ambition and opportunity. At this point, many students are working well and are settled back into school.

We would like to congratulate all students on receiving their CAO offers this year. This is the culmination of a lot of hard work and dedication.

This year, 56% of students achieved 500 points or higher. A magnificent 17% scored over 600 points, which is an amazing achievement.

Overall, this year’s paper was a fair paper with less mixing of topics than previous years. A well-prepared student would have welcomed this exam. This was a nice paper which allowed the students to show off their knowledge of Physics and not seeking to catch anyone out.

Overall, a fair paper with a nice choice of questions which students were happy with.

In this year’s paper, students had a similar situation to the traditional Leaving Certificate DCG paper with the usual set amount of core questions A and B being assessed. The only change this year was Section C, being only assessed on one studied question rather than two.
