Senior Cycle Physical Education (SCPE)
Following on from a meeting with the Department of Education, the decision was made to introduce Physical Education as a Leaving Certificate subject starting September 2024.
The introduction of PE allows to broaden our curriculum and gives our students in St. Marys the opportunity to study a newly developed subject at LC level.
