Option Subjects

We offer 20 subject options in Transition year these are the subject options that are available for Leaving Certificate.

Transition year students study 7 option subjects .

. We ask students to select 10 subjects in order of preference in VSWare, and we try to select the 7 highest preferences of these.

For many this will be their first 7 preferences, however we cannot guarantee this as practical subjects in particular have max class sizes that are permitted in schools.


Continental Language:

if the student studied German for JC this must be selected subject from 1 of the 7 subjects ( preference number doesnt matter)

if the student studied Spanish for JC this must be selected 1 of the 7 subjects ( preference number doesnt matter)

if the student studied neither spanish or german for JC they do not select either spanish or german in their 10 preferences

Students are free not to choose a continental language when they enter 5th year
