At Senior Cycle, students take three core and four optional subjects for examination purposes. The core subjects are English, Irish and Mathematics. Exemption from Irish is given to students who satisfy the criteria laid down in circular M10/94.
An information talk is held for parents with regard to courses offered and third level course requirements. Students also receive information regarding the optional subjects available and the selection process. During Transition Year aptitude tests are taken by students and one of the functions of these tests is to aid the student in making her choices. The Guidance Counsellor will meet with all Transition Year students to review test results and discuss option choice. The Guidance Counsellor also meets with those students who choose to go directly to fifth year from third year.
The school offers two Leaving certificate programmes: the established Leaving certificate and Leaving Certificate Vocational Programme (LCVP)
