Their hard work has reaped just reward and I congratulate them, together with the teachers who have supported them through the process. We celebrate the success of those who achieve the highest grades through dint of commitment and passion for their subjects. Equally, I congratulate those who have found the academic demands more of a challenge yet still managed to reach or exceed expectations. We are very proud of them all.”
