Students beginning their orientation to career and further education from first year through various programmes both curricular and extra- curricular.
All Junior Cycle Classes follow a guidance programme through their well bring class time. At Junior Cycle we run Business in the Community as a fun activity which exposes students to life choices and shows them the financial implications of various educational decisions.
We provide one to one support for students and also group work for various needs such as anxiety, social skills and to encourage students to form a positive relationship with their school. These are often run in conjunction with our active School Completion Programme.
We endeavour to support all students around decision making and transitional points by providing Aptitude Testing, Parent Information Evenings, presentations to students by senior cycle and past pupils and our annual Career Speed Dating Event.
At Senior Cycle we provide three programmes Leaving Cert Applied, Leaving Certificate Vocational Programme and the Traditional Leaving Cert. We provide all of our senior cycle students with the opportunity to take part in work experience and we provide after school classes for fifth and sixth year through the ACE Programme with TUD and Power to Progress Programme in conjunction with UCD.
