Politics & Society

Politics and Society aims to develop the learner’s capacity to engage in reflective and active citizenship, informed by the insights and skills of social and political sciences.

 

Politics & Society was first introduced in our school at Senior Cycle in September 2023, with the first cohort sitting exams in June 2025. Students are required to submit a report on a Citizenship Project in sixth year, which is currently worth 20% of the final grade.

Junior Cycle CSPE is also the foundation for the subject, while TY students also study a Politics.
