The LCVP is a Leaving Cert.
Programme with a Vocational Training Dimension.To be eligible for LCVP, students
must take 2 subjects from a recognised Vocational Subject Grouping, a Modern
Language and the 3 Link Modules. Of the 14 recognised Subject Groupings, 13 are
offered at HRC. The school has been involved in the programme since 1991 and was
one of the schools selected to pilot the restructured LCVP in 1994. The 3 Link
Modules (Enterprise Education, Preparation for Work and Work Experience) involve
a Portfolio of Course Work and a 2 hour Written Examination and are assessed by
External Examiners appointed by the Further Education & Training Awards
Council (FETAC). Three Grades are awarded: Distinction, Merit and Pass. All the Universities and Institutes of Technology now award points for Grades obtained in the LCVP Link Modules and accept them as a 6th Subject for Points purposes. 2009-2010 2008-2009 2007-2008 The 4th year LCVP organised a 10km sponsored walk to purchase a Defibrillator for our School.

We are hoping to set up three different mini-enterprises.
2003-2004 Our Fourth year LCVP students have now set up and are
running their own mini enterprises. They have a variety of products, which are
now on sale. All the products are of a very good quality and include:
Pictured below is our 4th year LCVP class with some of the product they sold in their mini-enterprises before Christmas. Niall Faulkner from the Leitrim Co. Enterprise Board visited the school in December and again in February to discuss with students any problems they may face in the operation of their enterprises. We were sorry to hear that Young Entrepreneurial Awards this year was cancelled, so the school arranged an in-house competition amongst the different enterprises on Thursday 1st of April. (For competition results see link below). LCVP Mini-Enterprise Competition Results The students have already interviewed entrepreneurs in their locality and have complied an in-depth report on their findings. They will also be undertaking one weeks work experience in a career area that they may have an interest in for the future. Our fourth years are also planning to organise a Variety Concert just before Easter which was a huge success, read more here!
Our Leaving Cert LCVP class are at the moment completing the work on their portfolios, which includes reports on their mini-enterprises, their visit to Masonite and a diary of their work experience. Pictured above is our Leaving Cert class with their different mini-enterprise products. The mini-enterprise products they produced are as follows:
