Our Junior Certificate afternoon allowed us to celebrate the academic achievements of our outgoing Year Ten. They were reminded of the importance of hard work and determination as they move into GCSEs next year, but also the importance of making the most of opportunities to participate in the wider life of the school. We were reminded of their many extra curricular achievements and were treated to performances from the Junior Choir and Junior Wind Band. Year Ten- we love seeing you grow into young men and women who will take on the world! #celebratingsuccess #academic #sport #music #drama #juniorcertificate #iampartofballyclarehigh
