Academic programme
Before the beginning of the new school year in 2020, students generally had one forty-minute class of English, Irish and maths every day. History, Geography, Religion, CSPE (Civic, Social and Political Education) and SPHE (social, personal and health education) were generally done in single-period classes, spread throughout the week. Some other subjects, such as science, PE and the practical subjects such as art, often had double periods. Due to the COVID19 pandemic, class-length was increased to 60 minutes, while the number of classes a day was decreased to six as opposed to the previous nine per day.[2][3]
