Students who have not studied Irish in primary school should see the Principal. Any other problems regarding core subjects should be brought to the attention of the Principal.

It is strongly recommended that a European language be chosen at Junior Cert level.

Practical subjects such as Art, Music, Material Technology Wood and Technical Graphics are good choices if your son is interested in any aspect of these subjects. Some students however make the mistake of thinking that these subjects have no academic side. All practical subjects have an academic content.

It is important to read the following pages, which offer some guidelines for choosing subjects.
