This seminar is designed for 5th and 6th year students, introducing them to the mindset to achieve and skills to succeed at Senior Cycle.
This study skills programme is designed to support students at Senior Cycle to prepare for the Leaving Certificate examination. Along with motivating students to engage fully in their study, they look at how to cope better with stress and develop resilience. The students are also brought through our unique study system – POKER.
