Classes: We strictly limit the numbers of students in our Repeat Leaving Certificate year. Most students take seven subjects. Since there is a range of eighteen subjects, it is not surprising that our classes are small in size, some of them in single figures.

Career Guidance & Personal Development: Each student is scheduled for a weekly ‘ Lifeskills class’ . This class seeks to promote and develop skills such as: Study-skills, time management, schedule planning, C.V. preparation, interview skills and examination techniques. Students are enabled to experience and process decision-making and problem-solving. They undertake exercises in self -evaluation and self-awareness and they develop communication and relationship skills.

Career research and application to Third Level Colleges, nationally and internationally, are guided and monitored on an individual basis.

Parent/Guardian Liaison: We are convinced that our close liaison with parents enhances students’ progress. Therefore we encourage and facilitate close collaboration with our Seventh Year Parents and Guardians.

GAMES & ACTIVITIES
Our Repeat Leaving Certificate students are welcomed and encouraged to participate in all College Sports activities. These include: Basketball, Soccer and Gaelic Football. The College boasts an impressive Indoor Sports Complex.

OTHER FACILITIES
