Junior Certificate Results 2013

Junior Certificate Results 2013

Our students really performed amazingly this year. They really did their parents and the staff of Hazelwood College proud. While they have dispersed onto different paths, some going to Leaving Certificate Applied, and to Transition Year as well as those who went directly into fifth year, they all have a firm Junior Certificate foundation to work from.

Here are some photographs from the day, more details to follow in later posts.
