  1. Ah that’s not fair!!! Her history exam would of been “what happened last week?”

  2. Love the red colour, it looked so pretty! Whereas I remember getting the LCA results in 2013 and it looked pretty meh as it was just boxes with numbers..

  3. Well done her getting her Leaving Cert back then!! 

  4. Anyone know if “honours” and “pass” here are references to the level (like Higher/Ordinary/Foundation) or grade achieved (A-C was “Honours” when I did it about 10 years ago)?

  5. Would have been a rarity to have an LC back then I imagine.

    I love that is awarded to “Mary”, as if there is only one Mary.

  6. She went on to become a primary school teacher and eventually principal of the school. She is now retired and has 10 great-grandchildren and counting.

  7. Only a pass in hygiene?
