Celebrating the Leaving Cert Results with People First Credit Union!

25 August 2025

Celebrating the Leaving Cert Results with People First Credit Union!

The Leaving Certificate results are always a milestone moment in the lives of young people, marking the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. To celebrate this special occasion, Friday 22nd of August 2025, People First Credit Union teamed up with iRadio and a crepe van to bring some well-deserved joy to students of Scoil Chríost Rí and St. Mary’s CBS.

The atmosphere outside both schools was filled with excitement and relief as students collected their results and shared the day with classmates, friends, and teachers. The crepe van provided a sweet treat to mark the occasion, while iRadio brought music and energy, and interviewed students asking about their thoughts and futures.

People First Credit Union took the opportunity to promoted its Student Loan offering, designed to help young people take the next step in their education journey. They also highlighted their annual Scholarship Award, which provides financial support to students pursuing further studies—demonstrating its commitment to investing in the future of the community.

Speaking about the event, a representative from People First Credit Union said:

We’re proud to stand with students on such an important day in their lives. It’s about more than results—it’s about celebrating the hard work, resilience, and bright futures of young people in our community.

For many students, the event was a chance to relax and enjoy the moment after years of study and dedication. The presence of People First Credit Union highlighted the organisation’s ongoing commitment to supporting local communities, not only through financial services but also by being part of life’s milestones.

The day was a memorable one, filled with smiles, laughter, and a sense of achievement. Congratulations to all students receiving their Leaving Cert results this year—your future starts here, and People First Credit Union is delighted to celebrate it with you.
