The
vast majority of our school leavers go to University and Third Level Colleges.
The Careers Department supports them in their subject choice, study
methods and exam techniques. The
world of work is explored and senior girls have individual meetings with the
school's Guidance Counsellors where future options are assessed.
Transition Year students participate in three weeks work experience.
In Personal Development classes, students are assisted in coping with
difficulties and anxieties and are helped mature in a positive way.
Each year a Study Skills Seminar is held for Junior Cycle girls and all students are invited to make use of the extensive materials available in the Careers Library. Guidance is also offered in the form of career talks by visiting specialists, career conferences and visits to third level colleges. The Guidance Department publishes a regular Careers Newsletter where all necessary and relevant information is obtained.
In addition to providing Educational and Career Guidance, counsellors are professionally trained in the provision of personal counselling. Students, who are experiencing a personal crisis, can visit the Guidance Counsellor where they are empowered to make decisions, solve problems, change behaviours and resolve issues in their lives.
