The Learning Support and Resource Department here in St Patrick's
College, Cavan, aim to help those students who have difficulties in keeping
pace with the other members of their class.
We, here in the Resource Department aim to help improve the students ability
to understand and cope with the work they are presented with in the subjects
of English and Mathematics.
At the beginning of the school year, students are given tests in English
and Mathematics.
The results of these tests identify those students who need help. As a result
of these assessments
(and with parental consent), students are given additional tuition.
