Senior Cycle
In addition to the three core subjects of English, Irish and Maths, students select four elective options from the choices available. Students choose subjects on a sliding scale of interest and from this, subject blocks are formed. In this way, the greatest number of students should be able to study their desired subjects.
At Senior level, students may opt to take a subject at Higher or Ordinary Level. Maths and Irish are available at Foundation Level also. All students have Religious Education, Career Guidance and SPHE classes weekly.

LCVP (the Leaving Cert Vocational Programme) as part of Senior Cycle studies
