At senior cycle, our students continue their educational journey through a programme that supports their personal, social, and intellectual development, while preparing them for further education, training, and adult life. The new Senior Cycle in Ireland places a strong emphasis on deeper learning, critical thinking, and real-world application of knowledge and skills. It aims to offer greater flexibility, with students engaging in a range of subjects and experiences that suit their strengths and interests. Wellbeing remains a core focus, ensuring students feel supported, respected, and confident as they navigate this important stage. Assessment is evolving to include more varied methods alongside final examinations, giving a fuller picture of each student's learning. The senior cycle supports students in becoming more independent and reflective learners, ready to take their next steps beyond school.
