Additional Information
Career Guidance Service
A full Career Guidance Service is available
to all students from 1st Year to Leaving Cert.
Aptitude tests taken by 1st Year students
indicate the subjects best suited to them.
Aptitude tests are also taken by 4th Year
students which help them make choices regarding
their future careers. Students are monitored
throughout their school lives to see that
they take the subjects best suited to their
ability. In the Junior Cycle, each student’s
progress is carefully monitored and guidance
/ counselling made available to anyone who
requires it, under the guidance and counselling
initiative programme.
Resource / Learning Support
The school operates an equal opportunities
policy. The needs of all students are catered
for according to the individual need. The
Resource / Learning Support Room is equipped
with the most up to date resources under the
supervision of fully trained staff.
Year Head System
A Year Head system is in place. This means
that a teacher is assigned to each year. This
teacher takes a special interest in the students
by monitoring their academic, personal and
social development and keeps in contact with
parents regarding the student’s progress.
It is our policy to foster close co-operation
between parents and teachers in order to support
students’ progress.
Book Lending
A limited book lending service is in operation
in our school. This means that students can
have the use of school books for the period
of time required which greatly reduces the
cost of books to parents.

football, Soccer, Computer Club, Drama, Music,
Swimming, Table Tennis, Pool.
Food Club
At 11.00am break and at lunch-time, food is
