At Coláiste Bhaile Chláir, our Cúnamh Classes provide specialised support for autistic students and for students with Moderate General Learning Disabilities (MOGLD). We recognise that every student learns differently, and we tailor our teaching approaches to meet the individual needs, strengths, and interests of each learner.
The Senior Cycle Level 2 Learning Programmes are follow-on programmes for students progressing from the Level 2 Learning Programme (L2LP) at Junior Cycle. The goal of these senior cycle programmes is to prepare students for life beyond school, enabling them to become lifelong learners and live more independently. Both the Level 1 and Level 2 programmes at senior cycle are personalized to meet the individual learning needs of each student.
The Senior Cycle Level 2 Learning Programme (SCL2LP) consists of four curriculum areas:
Communication & Literacy
Numeracy
Personal Care
Electives
