A-level students at Southern Regional College joined thousands of students across the province anxiously awaiting results, but this was soon to be replaced with delight with 94.4% of students passing exams. Top performing subjects with a 100% pass rate at the College include Chemistry, Physics, Nutrition & Science, Religious Studies, Digital Technology and Government & Politics.
With the realignment of GCSE results by Awarding Organisations (CCEA and AQA) to pre-covid positions, students at SRC continue to perform highly with results in grade boundaries A* to C up 13.34% compared to the pre-covid academic year.
Students receiving results at Southern Regional College include Sean Colligan from Armagh, Leah McKenna from Keady and Rebecca Veale from Richhill who received the coveted A* grades. Sean plans on tackling a Masters in Computer Science this coming September at Queens University, with Rebecca also attending Queens University to study Anthropology and Philosophy. Rebecca has enjoyed success in recent months having also won the top prize from Illuminated Teaching for her Religious Studies essay ‘Biblical Illiteracy and The Failures of the Church to Accept their Loss of Authority’. Leah is returning to the College having accepted a place on the Higher Level Apprenticeship programme studying Accounting.
