CURRICULUM

The curriculum on offer in every school is determined by the

Department of Education and Skills and the National Council for

Curriculum and Assessment (NCCA). Our vision in a CEIST school

is to offer the broadest curriculum possible to give the maximum

opportunity to each and every child.

Our schools have huge ambition for our students and are

determined to create, support and nurture the most positive

environments where students can flourish. This includes promoting

active student participation in decision-making, clear expectations
of exemplary behaviour and ensuring that students become the

very best versions of themselves.

At Junior Cycle, students prepare and present classroom based

assessments, emphasising communication, literacy, numeracy and
digital technology, in a forum which is always acutely mindful and

supportive of the wellbeing of our students. Building capacity and

instilling confidence in our students is a constant objective.

At Senior Cycle through Transition Year , Leaving Certificate Applied,

the Leaving Certificate Vocational Programme and traditional

Leaving Certificate students have access to the very best opportuni-
ties to progress to Third Level, Careers of choice and of course to

have a commitment to lifelong learning.

A rich curriculum including Modern Foreign Languages, the Sciences,
new subjects at senior cycle such as Physical Education, Politics &

Society and Computer Science are readily available and ensure our

students are to the forefront in terms of choice. Career Guidance,

Learning Support, Attainment Tracking are core elements of provi-

sion and link beautifully with our Pastoral Care systems and of
course our close relationships with parents and guardians.
