The LCA programme is designed for students whose learning styles and needs are not fully catered for by the other Leaving Certificate programmes. The main aim of this programme is to prepare students for the transition to the world of work rather than further study.

Leaving Certificate Vocational Programme (LCVP)

Developed to provide a balance between the traditional Leaving
Certificate and skills more directly relevant to employment, LCVP
is a very popular strand of senior cycle education today. It comprises
the full Leaving Certificate plus three ‘link modules', Preparation for
work, Enterprise Education and Work Experience

Home School Community Liaison:

A teacher from the staff works full-time to support parents in helping their children to settle in to and benefit from the school system and to prevent early school leaving. The scheme sonsists of a partnership and collaboration of the complimentary skills of parents and teachers. Home visitation is a crucial element in establishing bonds of trust with families. In order to discuss any concerns parents might have, the Home School Community Liaison co-ordinator is available throughout the day on 053-9236544.

Extra-curricular Activities:

We strongly believe that our student's personal development
Is enhanced by extra-curricular activities. Among the activities
Available to our students are:

Hurling, Football, Soccer, Badminton, Basketball, Debating, Music, Variety Show, School Tours, Gaisce Awards

Student Council:

The student council is the student's voice in the
running of the college and consists of a male and
female representative from each year group (with the exception of
First year, which is represented by the meitheal leaders on a rotating basis) who are elected by the student body on an annual basis.

Meitheal Programme:

The Meitheal programme is a scheme run by Co. Wexford Partnership
under which sixth year students are provided with training in order to
help incoming first year students to make the transition into second
level education.
Not only are our new first year students aided in the settling in process
but the chosen sixth year leaders gain valuable experience in responsibility and leadership.
