Academic Achievements
Our Ladys has a long tradition of excellent academic achievement. Through the years, a high percentage of our students have progressed to and excelled in third-level education. We are also very proud of our past students, who have followed career paths such as trade apprenticeships and selfemployment in their own business areas. It is our continued goal to help each student to achieve their full potential and the career path of their choice.

Entry to Third Level

In December 2008, The Sunday Times published figures indicating the number of students who progressed to third-level education from that year. 86.4% of students from Our Ladys Secondary School gained their college places. We are extremely proud of our position, which is based on results from 740 second-level schools. We are also proud of the fact that a high number of our students gained their first preference course.
