Senior Cycle All students study Irish (excepting cases where official exemptions apply under formal DES Guidelines), English, Maths, French or German and Religion. In addition to the above core subjects, students select three additional subjects from a list of options. The options offered are based on the choices of each group of incoming Fifth Year students and are designed to satisfy the choices of the maximum number of students possible. The school’s capacity to offer a particular non-core subject will depend on the resources available to the school and on the level of demand for that subject in any particular year. Where applications for a particular subject exceed the number of places available, places will be offered on the basis of when completed Option Forms were returned to the Deputy Principal. Advice from the Guidance Counsellor to relevant students, their Parent(s)/Guardians and the Principal may also be considered, if appropriate.
The following subjects are currently on offer at Senior Cycle:
Irish English Mathematics Religion French History Geography Biology Chemistry Music Business Accounting Economics German Art Technology Applied Maths Physics Home Economics Design & Communication Graphics PE Career Guidance
