Senior Cycle
The Senior Cycle comprises 5th and 6th Year in Newpark where three types of Leaving Certificate are offered to students: the Leaving Certificate Established (LCE), the Leaving Certificate Vocational Programme (LCVP) and the Leaving Certificate Applied (LCA).
The LCE and LCVP have minimal differences, while the LCA is a substantially different programme. In an average year group of 140 students in Newpark, usually somewhere in the region of about 100 students will opt for the LCE, 25 will opt for LCVP and 15 will opt for LCA. Newpark is proud to offer this range of academic choice to students and the type of Leaving Certificate studied is down to the individual student’s learning style and future interests.
