Study periods supervised by a teacher are provided each day for two hours after school. Sessions on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday begin at 4.00 and end at 6.00 with a five minute break at 5.00. On Wednesday study begins at 1.30 and ends at 3.30. These sessions are open to students in Third, Fifth and Sixth Year.

Evening study sessions are offered to Fifth and Sixth Years on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from September to May. These begin at 7.00 and end at 10.00. A third evening can be provided if student numbers are sufficient.

Any student wishing to opt for supervised study must agree to abide by the rules which allow other students to benefit fully from the session.
