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.
