Loreto St Michael's offers Senior Cycle - the traditional Leaving Certificate Programme. In order to help our students make the most informed decision about subject choice for Senior Cycle, we run the following programme of events to help them.
- Senior Cycle Booklet on subjects issued to students in 3rd year and TY and also to parents/guardians - Senior Cycle Subject Choice 2022 - 2023
- Student Representative Council organise a "Subject Forum" at lunchtime, where 3rd and TY students can speak to 6th year students about their chosen subjects
- Guidance Counsellor and Deputy Principal meet with 3rd year and TY students and go through the process for choosing subjects and give advice on subject choice
- Parent Information Evening Meeting is held for all 3rd year and TY parents/guardians
- Students are advised to speak with teachers if they have any specific questions around subject content and are also invited to speak with the Guidance Counsellor and/or Deputy Principal
- Students are asked to choose their subject preferences online via VS Ware
