Sacred Heart has been represented at ‘The Fergal Quinn Awards’ every year since 2011. Indeed Sacred Heart was the first school to have had three students receive this award in the same year.  This is a testament to the high standard of the programme in Sacred Heart and to the commitment and dedication of the Applied Leaving Certificate teachers.   Kate was just one of 5 students to receive this prestigious award at the award ceremony. She was accompanied by her mother Mary her dad Kieran and her cousin Amanda. The Applied Leaving Certificate coordinator Liz O’Sullivan and Principal Ann Marie Brosnan also attend the event.  

 Well done to Kate on this outstanding achievement.   Thank you to  all her teachers and in particular Mrs O’Sullivan the Applied Leaving Certificate Coordinator.
