Staidéar/Study
Each day pupils will be given a variety of exercises to complete based on work covered. Homework will be corrected and returned the following day with individual feedback. This will allow parents to see progress pupils are making and any particular difficulties they are having with the language. We believe that it is better for the pupils to complete their work at the College and so have the afternoon free to relax.
Cost: €100
