Special Educational Needs - Gary Boyle Continued support in LCVP / LCA / TY LCVP - Resource classes, reduced curriculum for some, study skills, after school classes in many subjects. LCA - Help with projects and portfolios and interview / presentation techniques. TY - Resource classes for those exempt from Irish / foreign language- help to catch up on other

  • assignments. Great opportunity to sample subjects and make informed decisions.

Accommodations in the Leaving Cert exams - applied for in 6th year. Often a reactivation of accommodations granted in Junior Cert exams but new applications may be made if criteria are met. Reports are required for all new applications.
