WelcomeI wish to welcome everyone to our Prize Giving Ceremony – our pupils and former pupils, parents and carers, teachers, support sta, Governors, sponsors and our special guest, Mrs Joan McCombe.Tonight’s ceremony is the public celebration and acknowledgement of the success of our pupils and of the work of all those who helped them, especially teachers and parents.We are proud of all our A’ Level and GCSE students. 2022-23 was a very successful year in terms of academic performance. A high percentage of last year’s Year 14 students were awarded Further and Higher Education places and we are especially pleased so many of them are here tonight to receive their awards. Our Year 12 pupils also achieved the excellent GCSE results, with 96% achieving at least 5 GCSEs at grades A*-C.Behind the headline results there is a great range and depth of achievement, inside and beyond the classroom, much of which this booklet records. I would like to pay tribute to the commitment and professionalism of my sta who aorded our students outstanding opportunities to help them ‘grow’ and become the exemplary young people we are here tonight to applaud.Tonight’s event is therefore a celebration for all who are associated with our School. I hope that you will enjoy the formal and informal aspects of the evening but most importantly thank you for being here to celebrate the pupils’ successes.PRINCIPAL21st September 20233

Mrs Joan McCombe is a retired principal of St Malachy’s High School, Castlewellan. Currently working as Education Advisor for the Diocese of Down and Connor, Mrs McCombe is supporting schools in their work of evaluating and celebrating the distinctiveness of Catholic Education. Together with her colleague, Dr Aidan Donaldson, Mrs McCombe has written and published the Cephas Faith Formation Programme which is being delivered to post-16 students in the Diocese of Down and Connor. e feedback from teachers and students has been extremely positive. As a member of the CCMS Down and Connor Education Committee, Mrs McCombe works in tandem with Catholic education partners in terms of upholding the values and ethos of Catholic education, both locally and globally. She has spoken at the Spiritus conferences in both London and Scotland, addressing international delegates on the importance of gospel-inspired values and how we should respond to Pope Francis’ invitation to the call for a new evangelisation. She is also a member of the Australian Catholic University Network, working to produce resources for young people and teachers that provide a way of developing faith in a prayerful, practical, meaningful and active way. Mrs McCombe has had a long and very fullling vocation within education both as a teacher and school leader. She continues to demonstrate her passion for the value of Catholic education in her current role as Diocesan Advisor. Guest of HonourMrs Joan McCombe5
