ST MARY’S DSG tied for first place in the country for its IEB results and its top pupil, Sarah Camp, raked in nine distinctions.
The class of 2016 achieved a 100 per cent Bachelor’s Degree result and a combined 341 distinctions among the 99 pupils who wrote the exams. “Their hard work and commitment during the course of the year has paid off and they have much to celebrate,” said Jonathan Manley, the principal of St Mary’s DSG.
Seven of its learners placed in the top 5 per cent on a national scale and its top three learners were Sarah Camp, Lara Holtes and Ruth Purcell. Sarah Camp achieved in the top 1 per cent nationally for English, history and life sciences. Lara Holtes achieved in the top 1 per cent nationally for English, geography, LO, life sciences, mathematics and physical science and attained 8 As. Ruth Purcell was placed in the top five per cent nationally in six subjects. She achieved the top one per cent for 6 subjects, English, geography, LO, life sciences and physical sciences and attained 8 As.
“Each teacher, mom and dad who played a part in these young women’s educational journey from preschool to Grade 12, can feel proud of these results. It does not happen overnight and takes a commitment of thirteen years to realise this goal. Each girl has opportunities that these results have created and we can expect success to follow them because of the work ethic and character that has been developed. Seventy eight per cent of our results were either an A or a B. Our girls should be very happy with these results, both individually and as a grade,” said Jonathan.
