LEAVING CERTIFICATE VOCATIONAL PROGRAMME

LCVP is a senior cycle optional programme incorporating additional link

modules which focus on the preparation of students for the world of work.
These link modules endeavour to identify the strong vocational links between
pupils’ optional subjects. Pupils are also given the opportunity to participate in

two work-experience modules.

THE LEAVING CERTIFICATE

APPLIED: The LCA is a two year Leaving
Certificate available to students who wish to follow
a practical Leaving Certificate with a vocational

focus. The learning is active and practical and
provides an opportunity for students to develop
their self-esteem and decision-making/coping
skills. There is less emphasis on the final

examinations as coursework is assessed
throughout the two years and students gain credits
as they go along. The LCA fosters a positive
attitude to life-long learning, work and the

community.

Study and Homework:

From 1st year up to 6th year we ensure all students fully understand the
importance of completing homework and engaging in consistent study. We
place great importance on the student’s journal, and it is important that all

students and parents use it to its potential, as a homework and study aid. We
also offer students supervised evening study, this runs from 4.15pm to 6.15pm.
We also run revision stu dy for

exam classes during scho ol
breaks.
