The following programmes are provided at Senior cycle as well as the Traditional Leaving Certificate:

The Leaving Certificate Vocational Programme (L.C.V.P.)

This programme is offered to all students and involves the the Traditional Leaving Cert programme plus three link modules.

1. Enterprise Education
2. Preparation for work
3. Work Experience

Students must study a European language along with Irish and English, usually French or German. The latter modules are designed to equip students with a body of practical and personal skills not normally acquired in the traditional Leaving Certificate. The link modules are assessed, graded and points awarded which may be used for admission purposes to third level Colleges. Work experience at the end of the 4th year is an integral part of the course.

Leaving Certificate Applied

The Leaving Cert Applied is a distinct self-contained Leaving Cert programme. It is designed for those who do not wish to proceed directly to third level education or for those whose needs, aspirations and aptitudes are not adequately catered for by the other Leaving Cert programmes. It is a course of study with emphasis on training for the work place. Regular work experience is an integral part of the course.
The Leaving Cert Applied is structured around three main elements:

1. Vocational Preparation
2. Vocational Education
3. General Education

Continuous assessment over the two years on specific student tasks, along with terminal exams form the final examination results.

Transition Year Programme

We now provide the Transition Year Programme as an option to 4th year students since September 2008. The first group to go through our programme found it extremely enjoyable and worthwhile. This is mainly down to the wide range of activities and the varied curricular content. This culminated in a hugely succesful skiing trip to Italy. A huge amount of planning and preparation has been undertaken to ensure the cintinued success of TY in our school.

The overall aims of the programme are:

1. Education for maturity with the emphasis on personal development including social awareness and increased social competence.
2. The promotion of general, technical and academic skills with an emphasis on interdisciplinary and self-directed learning.
3. Education through experience of adult and working life as a basis for personal development and maturity.
