The Learning to Learn programme is rolled out at Junior Cycle by the Class Tutor as part of the school’s Wellbeing Programme. It provides students with the cognitive and emotional awareness tools to support them on their journey through the Junior Cycle. The overall purpose of the programme is to create confident, connected and engaged learners.

It places emphasis on the cognitive and emotional awareness that students need to succeed through the Junior Cycle indicators for wellbeing.

The programme is structured so that there is a balance between development of subject knowledge, thinking abilities and key life skills, helping students to understand themselves better in order to succeed in learning and life.
