Leinster Senior College to host FREE CAO talk at Naas Library on Jan 10 - parents urged to attend

Last year, 6,000 students dropped out of their first year in third level college. That’s a startling statistic, considering how many disappointed students there were who didn’t get their first preference.

Leinster Senior College are encouraging parents of 4th, 5th or 6th year Leaving Certificate students to attend, it’s free of charge and parents should know and understand the CAO process.

Do students and/or their parents fully understand the whole CAO process and how students chose their favoured third level courses?

“Our School Principal and Guidance Counsellor Karl Hegarty will present an informative talk for parents at Naas Library on Thursday,  10 January at 7pm. (Booking: 045 879 111,   email: [email protected]).  The talks are free of charge and must be booked in advance with the relevant library" said a spokesperson for Leinster Senior College.

"The presentation will be based around the CAO process, explanation of the application process, how and when to apply and deadlines. I will also briefly mention UCAS, UNICAS and the PLC courses. The talk will run for 45 minutes. There will be an opportunity for private questions at the end. Your son or daughter is also very welcome" said Karl Hegarty, who will present the talk on the night.
