Senior Cycle
The aims of senior cycle emphasise the role it plays in providing continuity with junior cycle, in the personal development of pupils and in preparing students for the challenges life presents in further and higher education, in the world of work and in citizenship. Emphasis is also placed on the importance of pupils experiencing a broad, balanced and coherent programme of study across a range of curriculum areas with some opportunities for limited specialisation.
