1st Year Subject Choice March/April 2021
Unfortunately, due to the school's closure as a result of Covid-19, we cannot provide the usual in-school information sessions for students and parents/guardians, regarding 1st Year subject choice. This year, we will need to rely primarily on online information to help you in making your subject choices.
However, we do wish to support the girls and their parents/guardians in making the best and most appropriate choices for them so we have provided information on this page to help you with that choice and would ask you to contact our Deputy Principal, Mr. O'Doherty at codoherty@taylorshill.ie if you have any questions about your choice of subjects.
In addition to the core subjects studied by all 1st year students at Dominican College, each student will also make two choices for their final subjects.
Firstly, each student will study either French or German and secondly, each student will study one of the following subjects; Home Economics, Music or Visual Art.
The core subjects which each student will study are: English, Irish, Maths, Geography, History, Science, Business Studies, Religious Education, Digital Literacy, PE, CSPE, SPHE and Choir.
Below are number of resources which will help both parents/guardians and their daughters, make this choice. We hope that they will be of value to you.
