6th Year Leaving Cert Programme

This is a one year programme. Teachers start everything at the beginning and cover the entire syllabus in one year. Our 6th year students reap the benefits of our focused tuition and programmes.

The entire exam syllabus is covered in each subject in 6th year, and students have the option to study additional subjects to maximise their CAO points.

The Ashfield College timetable combines focused tuition time and supervised study periods in a wide range of subjects.

Students have an unrivalled choice of subjects because, unlike most other schools, we build our timetable around the student. 6th Year students may choose from 24 subjects offered at Higher and Ordinary level

Meet our teachers >>

Our Ashfield College teachers teach their classes using our superb Ashfield College Manuals. These manuals are written by our teachers specifically for use in Ashfield College only. Our manuals are updated annually in order to ensure that we reflect the most current Leaving Cert exam papers.

Our manuals are professionally produced and cover the entire syllabus. Our manuals include accurate solutions to exam questions and subject-specific exam technique, all of which is vital for Leaving Cert exam success. Our manuals are not available to buy, they are included in our school fees.

With extensive experience in online learning, we stream all Day School classes plus all grinds classes. All classes are also recorded, so students have an extensive back catalogue or e-library of recorded classes for the duration of their time with us in Ashfield College. We also utilise Moodle as an extra resource for students, providing a platform for sharing additional learning resources to our students. In Ashfield College, we are lucky to have a Head of I.T. and a team of Support Technicians. All of our teachers have received and continue to receive training in on to team in an online environment. We ensure that all students whether online or face to face have ample opportunity to engage and interact in all classes.

In Ashfield College, we are keen to ensure that students are supported both pastorally and academically. Below are some of the Support personnel available to all students.

Student Guidance & Wellbeing >>

6th Year students are encouraged to participate in extra-curricular activities designed to develop new friendships, leadership skills and to promote teamwork and a sense of community. Activities 6th year students have enjoyed include careers talks from leading industry figures,  5-a-side soccer, trips to the theatre, cinema and art galleries, hiking, and ice-skating.
