S3-S5 Options for Session 25-26

All current S3, S4 and S5 pupils who intend to return to school in August 2025 will soon begin making their subject choices for next session. In order to support our learners and their families with this important process, you are invited to attend our Senior Phase Curricular Choice Information Event which will take place via Microsoft Teams on Wednesday 15th January. The event will begin at 6.30pm with a presentation where Mrs Thyne will outline the options process and deliver the key information for you and your child in relation to selecting their subjects and planning for the next stage of their school journey.

Please read the attached letter and information booklet which gives you more information about this event, the Options process for all S3-S5 pupils in general along with key dates and supports on offer. Please access the wealth of information to support you and your child throughout this process to ensure they make informed decisions about their future. The information evening will be a great start but there are lots of resources on our Curricular Pathways glow blog which you are encouraged to access, with your child, and the link to this is in the letter and info booklet attached. Please contact your child’s Pastoral Care teacher in the first instance should you or your child require any support. All S3-S5 pupils will also have access to support during forthcoming PSE lessons and their one-to-one interviews. They should bring their completed options form along to this interview and final choices will be submitted.

All S3-S5 options should be fully completed and submitted by Friday 21st February. We would appreciate your support in ensuring your child meets with their Pastoral Care teacher to submit their final choices prior to this deadline. If they miss their scheduled meeting due to absence, please ensure they arrange an alternative as soon as possible on their return to school.
