Each of you has a deeply personal story of your time in school and your significant development that has culminated in these results. My wish is that you will now face the next chapter of your education with courage and with confidence in your ability to think, to question and to work diligently towards your desired reward.
Your class has achieved 323 distinctions, with 92% of the group achieving an average above 60%. There are seven outstanding IEB achievers, one commendable achiever and 36 placings in the top 1% of candidates per subject.
