Why choose Ashfield College
For Your 5th Year?
A solid 5th Year is a foundation for a successful Leaving Certificate.
For this reason, 5th Year students are introduced to the Leaving Certificate syllabus and the effective work practices required in the Leaving Certificate.
During the 5th year, students cover 75-80% of the exam syllabus, which will provide an invaluable foundation for 6th Year. Students are monitored academically with regular testing and continuous assessment in all subjects. In 5th Year in Ashfield College, we work consistently and effectively with our students so that they feel completely confident entering 6th Year. This way, students work towards their Leaving Cert exams, at a healthy and consistent pace.
Remember that all our 5th Years are new to Ashfield College. Therefore, we ensure that our teachers begin everything at the beginning and we work hard to ensure that students settle in and make new friends.
