| We
strive to ensure that the subjects, activities and teaching methodologies
that are supported will ensure that the needs of all students are
catered for, not only for now, but also for life. The school curriculum
is a formal expression of those practices and activities that are
designed to fulfil the aims and objectives outlined in the school's
Mission Statement. Note that there
are some differences in the subjects available for students studying
for the Junior Certificate and the Leaving Certificate examinations.
Subjects that are available only at Senior Cycle are in brackets.
It is useful to look at the school curriculum under three general
headings:
1.
Core curriculum
