Teens awaiting Leaving Cert results told: "Points aren't metric of your value"
Teenager receiving their Leaving Cert results tomorrow have been urged not to panic, as 'your worth is not defined by any exam or number'. The plea was issued by Bishop Fintan Gavin of the Irish Catholic Bishops' Conference, who told students to 'have faith in yourself and those who love you'. 65,000 Leaving Cert and Leaving Cert Applied marks will be released in schools and on the Student Online Portal at 10am. The National Parents and Students Leaving Certificate Helpline and text support service opens at the same time, offering advice on calculating CAO points, rechecking examination results, accepting or deferring an offer, and what to do if a subject is failed. However, Bishop Gavin said it is most important that students remain optimistic, no matter what their results. He added: 'If you didn't get the points or the place you were hoping for, don't despair. Sometimes, it's in the moments when our own plans fall through that a greater destiny begins to unfold. I want you to remember that there are many paths forward, and each one is valuable. Stay open, stay hopeful, and trust that your journey is only beginning, and it will bear fruit. You are never alone on it.' Meanwhile, the HSE is advising parents to have a brief, focused conversation about drug and alcohol use with young people prior to their exam celebrations. Should alcohol play a part in their celebrations the HSE is advising to plan ahead, keep track of and minimise alcohol intake, keep safe and avoid drugs. Senior HSE addiction counsellor Emer Loughrey said: 'Prior to any celebrations, we are asking parents to be mindful and to plan ahead with young people. This can involve having conversations around staying safe, and the risks of consuming alcohol and drugs. In addition, if there is travel involved, be available for drop-offs and pick-ups or make alternative travel arrangements.'

John Shortt's red letter Friday - Leaving cert results and another World final
New World junior swim champ John Shortt will go for gold again on Friday - after getting his Leaving Cert results earlier the same day! Shortt, 18, has qualified for tomorrow's 50m Backstroke final in the World Aquatics Junior Championships in Romania, having won the 100m Backstroke final yesterday. In doing so the Galwegian, who is targeting the Los Angeles Olympics in 2028, became only the second Irish swimmer to top the podium at the grade after Mona McSharry eight years ago.

It means he has his work cut out to get on the podium again but Shortt will have had an extra day to recover from his gold-medal winning achievement. He will also discover how he fared in the Leaving Cert, which he sat at the start of the summer. Shortt moved to Limerick to train at one of Swim Ireland's national centres a few years ago and enrolled in Castletroy College, which is close to where he trains at the UL campus' 50m pool under coach John Szaranek. Shortt previously described juggling his training with his Leaving Cert studies as 'super-stressful', but said he made the right move by leaving Galway for Limerick for his swimming career. 'It was not a hard decision,' he said. 'UL is the best spot for me at the minute. I viewed my happiness as more important than swimming. A happy swimmer is a fast swimmer and I knew Limerick was where I'm happiest. "I also trust my coach so much. He's done so much for me over the past two and a bit years, and all the guys down there, I love them to death.' Get the latest sports headlines straight to your inbox by signing up for free email .
