C.S.P.E.

Subject aims
CSPE aims to make students aware of the civic, social and political dimensions of their lives. To give them a sense of belonging and to give them a capacity to gain access to information and structures relating to the society in which they live. We also aim to give them the ability and confidence to participate in a democratic society.

Subject objectives

The objectives of CSPE are outlined in terms of:
  • Knowledge
  • Concepts
  • Skills
  • Attitudes / Values.
An appropriate vehicle for the achievement of these objectives within C.S.P.E. is active participatory class – work where the emphasis is on learning by doing.

Subject Teachers

Pupils are grouped on a mixed ability basis. All groups are taught in their base class groups e.g. 1A, 2B, 3C

Student Access to Subject / Level
All students have access to C.S.P.E. up to Junior Cert. and then sit a common level paper in the Junior Certificate
