We rounded off 2022 at Killorglin Community with the incredible news that we are number one in Kerry for the Highest Rate of Progression to Third Level!
This news is a tremendous source of pride and delight for us and is validation of the excellent teaching and learning that takes place at the college.
We are delighted to have topped the Feeder Schools Table in Kerry as published in the Irish Times and the Irish Independent in December, with the Irish Times reporting a 110% progression rate. This statistic was achieved due to the high number of Leaving Certificate students from 2022 along with those who had deferred their places in 2021 moving onto Third Level.
Speaking of this news, Principal, Fiona O’Brien commented: “We acknowledge the hard work and commitment of the students, their parents and the staff in accomplishing such high levels of progression and we were delighted as a school to play our part in supporting the students to achieve their potential.”
You will find our students studying at a variety of universities which include the Royal College of Surgeons, NUI Galway, University College Cork, Munster Technological University, University of Limerick, Trinity College Dublin, Technological University of the Shannon, Atlantic Technological University, Sligo, Mary Immaculate College, Limerick and Maynooth.
