School Examinations

The school operates a system of in-house exams at Christmas and Summer. Junior and Leaving Certificate students sit Pre Examinations each Spring. Full house exams are held for 1st Year, 2nd Year, TY and LC1 students at the same time. Reports are issued to parents detailing academic progress and conduct.

Mentoring Programme

The journey from primary to post primary school is a challenging and an emotional one for students. It is a time of change where new routines and disciplines are to be learnt. Therefore, how students are supported at this time is central to their success and to the development of a friendly and caring atmosphere in the Comp. A mentor is a senior cycle student who, with training and support, helps make the first year to make the adjustment to life in our school.
