Presentation Secondary School Thurles

LCAP

As part of our tradition for catering for the needs of all our students, we also offer the Leaving Certificate Applied Programme (LCAP) for students who wish to follow a practical programme with a strong vocational emphasis.

The Leaving Certificate Applied is a distinct, self-contained two-year programme aimed at preparing students for adult and working life. The programme puts an emphasis on forms of achievement and excellence, which the established Leaving Certificate has not recognised in the past.

The Leaving Certificate Applied was introduced to recognise the talents of all students and provide opportunities for development in terms of responsibility, self-esteem and self-knowledge. It is an innovative programme in the way students learn, in what they learn and in the way their achievements are assessed.
