Top of the class and on top of the world

CAROLINE FOX was on top of the world after finding out she scored 12 As in her Junior Certificate yesterday.

The 16-year-old from Athboy, Co Meath, is believed to be the only one of almost 57,000 who received their results to have reached a dozen top grades.

The student of Eureka Secondary School in Kells was shocked when she received her grades from principal Sister Joan Dunne yesterday morning. “I wasn’t expecting such good results at all, I just couldn’t believe it,” she said.
