The school employs a full time guidance counsellor and a full time careers teacher. Students are assisted on an individual basis with all aspects of vocational / career choices.
A percentage of our students go on for further education at third level. Career department gives advice about choices for CAO - strengths and weaknesses, interests and wishes- personal portfolio. The process commences in Transition Year. Pupils are able to make an informed choice about the career path to take. Our library provides up to date information and materials regarding qualification requirements. Pupils attend Open Day and Careers Exhibitions which provide excellent guidance in preparing pupils for the next stage of education whether in the work place or in third level. In the future it is hoped to develop an electronic library and to install computer terminals so that Leaving Certificate pupils will be in a position to download their CAO applications directly.

Our counsellor is available to help students with a wide variety of problems - educational, social, emotional. Students and parents/guardians are encouraged to adopt "an ask for help" attidude.
