| GCSE Exam Success |
22-August-2008 |
Students, staff and parents are again
celebrating a strong set of GCSE results this
year, at Drumragh Integrated College. A number
of students have been pleasantly surprised at
the quality of their grades, and the percentage
of students achieving five or more grades A*-C
has risen significantly.
In addition to the very pleasing outcomes above,
an impressive number of students have achieved
the higher grades in a range of subjects. The
College is extremely proud of its students and
extends its congratulations to every one of
them. These grades are stepping stones to future
plans and successes, and students were today
invited to relax in a café-style setting, run by
the Parents Council, whilst waiting for their
interviews regarding Sixth Form courses for next
year.
Students with impressive results include the
following:
Clarence Ballantine 3A, 4B, 1C, 1E
Andrew Bullick 2A, 4B, 3C, 1E
Emma Charles 3A, 5B, 1C, 1D
Michaela Connolly 4A, 4B, 1D
Lisa Convey 1A*, 4A, 1B, 3C, 1D
Aaron Dees 3A*, 3A, 3B, 1C
Rebecca Dougherty 3A*, 2A, 3B, 1C, 1D
Patrick Grant 3A*, 4A, 1B, 1C, 1D
Lauren Kerrigan 1A*, 6A, 2B, 1C
Caroline McConnell 1A*, 6B, 1C, 1E

Andre Sturm 4A, 3B, 1C, 1D
Josiah Whitworth 1A, 6B, 2C
Louis Whitworth 2A, 6B, 2C
In addition to those achieving the highest
grades, we congratulate all those who have
achieved grades that are strong for them. For
some students whose talents are not academic,
achieving a grade below A, A* or B is still
their personal best and so we are proud of them.
As an all-ability integrated college we
celebrate and encourage the best in all of our
students.
Staff need to be recognised for their part in
the many successes we are celebrating. They have
worked so hard alongside students, supporting
them and sharing their considerable expertise
with them. One of the many qualities of this
college is the strength of the relationships
that exist between students and staff.
High examination results are a key goal for us,
as they are for any school. We are also proud,
however, of the personal qualities of the
students who are graduating from Drumragh. We
emphasise the importance of positive attitudes
toward your fellow man or woman, of developing
the skills that employers in fact want and of
being a real contributor to society.
Our aims are to work toward a better Northern
Ireland in the future, by welcoming all and
embracing difference, whilst providing a quality
of education that is second to none. The
brilliant achievements of these young people are
clear evidence that these ideals are in fact a
reality.

In addition to our congratulations to those who
have attained the highest grades, we would like
to emphasise that we are equally proud of all
those students who have achieved grades that
are, for them, their best. As an all-ability
college we encourage students to develop their
talents, whatever they are, and to achieve the
best they can, whatever that may be. We want to
say 'well done!' to all those who have achieved
their personal best.
We need to help our young people to discover
their potential and to develop as rounded
members of society. As an integrated college we
are aware that our young people will build the
Northern Ireland and the global society of
tomorrow. This will not be done through exam
results alone, but by developing as lifelong
learners and by coping with the many pressures
of the 21st century. Crucially, our definition
of success also includes appreciation of
attitudes that involve reaching out to others
with outstretched hands rather than clenched
fists. We are, therefore, proud of all that our
students have achieved in addition to their
academic studies. We wish each one of them well
for the future.
