First Years
In their First year, pupils are divided in classes of mixed ability, based on their scores at Assessment Test. The Assessment test is held in the school during a Wednesday afternoon in January and it tests the students’ abilities of Verbal, Reading and Numeracy. The test helps to identify those students who may need further assistance in these areas in their first year.

1st Yr students at Wood Technology
A large selection of subjects are offered in 1st Year – the ‘core’ subjects, which all students are required to study alongside the ‘option’ subjects. Student are provided with a most extensive sample of these option subjects in First Yr this is to help them make the best informed decision when selecting the ‘option’ subjects which they will take for Junior Cycle.
Regular class examinations take place throughout the school year, with full house exams for all yrs before the Summer break.
