Junior Certificate Results

A very pleasing set of Junior Cert results came out this Wednesday. Congratulations to all involved in an excellent set of results overall. 86.5% of papers taken were at higher level and of these 90.6% gained a C or higher.

A special congratulations to Georgina Tarr who gained straight A's in her Junior Cert.

There was great excitement about the school on Wednesday afternoon when the results came out and its is very evident in this Photo Gallery.

 

Past Pupils

This weekend past saw the reunion of the BGS class of 1979. The event was organised by Milo Ahern and a meal with all the other appropriate festivities was held in the Munster Arms.

The day also included a tour of the school. The group were especially delighted by their tour guides, form VI pupils Christina Bandemer and Sebastien Auferoth.
