Leaving Certificate

Leaving Certificate

The Leaving Certificate is a two-year Senior Cycle programme that represents the final stage of post-primary education in Ireland. At St Mark’s Community School, we support students through this crucial phase with a focus on academic achievement, personal growth, and preparation for life after school.

The programme promotes the development of key skills such as critical thinking, effective communication, and self-management, empowering students to become independent and responsible learners. You can find more about the structure and aims of the Leaving Certificate curriculum at curriculumonline.ie.
