No fees, no problems as 10 students celebrate best results in the country
With more than 1,500 students, Gorey Community School in Wexford is the biggest in the country and now it can boast of having Mark Berney as Ireland’s top school leaver in 2013.
An impressive list of nine other students celebrated eight higher-level A1s, with all but one attending free schools. Four went to school in Cork — Coláiste an Spioraid Naoimh and Mount Mercy, both in Bishops-town; Loreto Convent in Fermoy; and St Francis Capuchin College in Rochestown — and another attended Presentation Secondary School in Milltown, Co Kerry.
