6th YearStudent Support

Because this is one of the most intensive and demanding years in the life of any student, we go to exceptional lengths to make sure they have the level of support services that they need.

Our Student Support staff are committed to providing students with the assistance they need to fulfill their academic potential.

The Institute of Education has assigned one of our most successful teachers to the role of Academic Mentor.

Helen Casey: Resource Teacher

Helen Casey qualified with a BA, H.Dip Ed. (1st class hons. UCC) and a Diploma in Special Ed. (1st class hons. TCD).

Helen meets with students on a one-to-one basis during their study periods and liaises with the individual subject teachers to monitor the student’s progress, ensuring that they have access to learning support tailored to their specific needs.

She works with dyslexic students and focuses on areas such as reading comprehension, written expression, organization, note taking and mind mapping skills. She also assists students that may have grounds for seeking 'Reasonable Accommodations' during their Leaving Certificate Examination.
