Monthly assessments are carried out in each subject allowing students to review their progress with their mentor. There are official school tests in October, Christmas and Easter. 6th year students do a full Mock Leaving Certificate Examination in all subjects. 5th year students sit school exams in October, Christmas, Easter and Summer. CAREER GUIDANCE Our Guidance Counsellor is available on a weekly basis so that students are regularly supported and advised in subject and career choices. Advice will be available about CAO entry forms and choices as well as UCAS requirements.
Study Manuals Ashfield College students enjoy the benefit of comprehensive course manuals which comprise the vast majority of class notes for each individual subject. These manuals are professionally produced and updated annually. They also contain sample Leaving Certificate examination questions and solutions. These manuals relieve students of the burden of excessive note-taking, permitting teachers to take a tutorial style approach in class.
