On enrolling in Presentation Secondary School, First Years are offered a choice of 21 subjects. These subjects range from the highly practical to the more academic, and cater for all abilities. All of these subjects are studied in year 1 and choices for 2nd year are made with help from the Guidance Counsellor and in consultation with parents and teachers. At the end of third year, students take their Junior Certificate Examination and with guidance make their decision regarding Senior Cycle Programmes. In their fourth year, students have the option of choosing the innovative transition year programme. The two-year Leaving Certificate course has three different Leaving Certificate Programmes.
