Guidance is provided through the school guidance
programme. The guidance programme is the specific set of
learning experiences, which a school provides in response to the
guidance needs of its students. The school guidance plan is
the document in which the school, in a systematic way, defines the
guidance programme it offers, and states how resources are
organised to deliver the programme.
The fundamental purpose of this School Guidance Plan has been
to:
Identify accurately the needs of students.
Define outcomes.
Define the priorities of delivery.
Determine resources.
Address gaps in delivery and / or resources

GRANT INFORMATION
Student Universal Support Ireland
(SUSI)
There have been major changes to the grant schemes in
recent years. In autumn 2011, the four main grant schemes (Higher
Education Grants Scheme, Vocational Education Committees'
Scholarship, Third Level Maintenance Grant Scheme for Trainees and
Maintenance Grant Scheme for Students Attending Post Leaving
Certificate Courses)were replaced by one single grant
scheme. This scheme is simply called 'Student Grant
Scheme'.
Over the years we have developed a strong relationship with our
local university. Each year NUIM presents a number of bursaries to
students who have excelled across a range of subjects.
Each year our students have an opportunity to visit the
university and also benifit from a presentation by admission staff
from NUIM in Colaiste Chiarain.
