Chantelle also won the Michael McCoo Cup for Best Overall Girl. She had a total of 343 marks (two grade As) over the two years and from her two units. In Year 11, her subjects were Working in a Care Environment and Reminiscence with Individuals in a Care Environment; then in Year 12 she undertook Manicure & Nail Art with Shampooing & Conditioning Treatments. Next year Chantelle is returning to Armagh SRC to start Level 3 diploma in childcare as she wants to be a nurse or social worker.
