ACE
Mount Seskin Community College is very proud to run the Access to College Education programme for our senior cycle students. Students awarded a place on the programme and have access to a year of additional timetabled classes after school. These classes are based on the needs and requests of the students. To acknowledge good attendance at these classes, students receive a monthly payment of 50€.
The ACE programme has a school coordinator, who links in regularly with the students and a home representative who informs parents about upcoming Parent Evenings, which are held in TUD. These meetings provide advice and support to parents about the CAO process and how they can best support their child as they enter third level education.
Students are taken to the Gaeltacht in January, they participate in mock orals in Irish and and their chosen foreign language and an Easter Revision programme is organised to maximise the student’s academic potential prior to their last term at school.
Last year’s ACE students are now studying a variety of courses in Maynooth University, Trinity College Dublin, TUD and UCD, to name but a few.
The ACE programme is a wonderful academic opportunity for the students of MSCC, who may wish to pursue a particular course in a particular third level institution.
