Senior Cycle is an exciting and important stage in a student’s educational journey, providing opportunities to deepen knowledge, develop independence in learning and prepare for further study, training and future careers. Through a combination of core subjects and optional subjects, students can build a programme that reflects their interests, strengths and aspirations.
At Loreto Foxrock, students are given an open choice when selecting their Leaving Certificate subjects. In addition to the core subjects, students choose four subjects from the range of options available,listed below, allowing them to create a balanced programme that supports their individual goals.
Detailed information about all Senior Cycle subjects and assessment can be found in our Senior Cycle Subject Information Booklet above, which has been carefully prepared by our Guidance Department and subject teachers to provide students and parents with a clear understanding of the Senior Cycle programme at Loreto Foxrock. We encourage students and parents to consult the booklet when making subject choices and considering future educational and career pathways.
