“This has been an incredibly strong group of boys,” said Headmaster, Dean Dell’Oro. “It is commendable that they have achieved the outcomes they have on top of all the other commitments they made to the wider co-curricular programme of the School. I am full of admiration for each boy and his determination to keep working hard, even when many had early university offers and other assured pathway options.
“These final results are a testament to the strong learning culture that exists at Hale. Once again, our outstanding staff have supported these boys to gain some of the best results in the State and this country.”
