Curriculum
Post 16
The life of a Post 16 student is marked by their maturity to recognise their need to commit to a regular routine of study so that their plan for life after St. Patrick’s College can be realised. Many of our Post 16 students will follow courses within Universities or other third level facilities. Others will decide to pursue work, apprenticeships or travel opportunities. The wide range of experiences here will equip them well for each of these pathways. Enrichment and outreach opportunities will ensure that their thinking skills and personal capabilities are fully developed and that young, dynamic and capable problem solvers and communicators are ready to commence the next chapter of their lives.
Our Post 16 students are offered outreach activities in Sperrinview, Willowbank and Dungannon Care Home. These engagements provide the platform for fostering: a culture of respect for elderly, inclusion, care for all and service to those in need.
