Leaving results – the future is bright

Sir, – Congratulations to all students on your Leaving Certificate results.

This achievement marks the end of a significant chapter in your lives, and you should be immensely proud.

As you consider your next steps, I want to highlight the excellent opportunities available at your local college of further education. These institutions offer a wide range of courses – from vocational training, apprenticeships, new tertiary degrees and pre-university programmes – that can help you develop new skills, explore career options, or prepare for further study.

The future is bright, and your options are vast. Embrace the opportunities ahead with confidence. I urge you to remember that education is as much about the journey as it is about the destination. – Yours, etc,
