The project recognises that for many young people, and their parents, school can be a confusing and difficult place to be. In particular there are some specific times during school when extra support might be needed - such as when children make the transition from primary to secondary school or when they leave school and have to cope with the demands of work or further education. At present the school has a number of strategies which aim to help young people cope effectively with the pressures associated with leaving school. Womanzone Womanzone is a community health project for women. Womanzone also runs short health based courses according to local demand e.g. relaxation techniques, assertiveness.
Priority is given to national certificate acquisition.
Excellent results are achieved in education and in getting people into work. Many of the classes on offer involve learning with the school's day pupils. There are however, a number of exclusive classes for adults where the atmosphere is informal and relaxed. Staff at Castlebrae will endeavour to welcome you and will offer a professional, quality learning experience which will help you gain in confidence and increase your knowledge and skills. Most classes run during the day but there is some twilight and evening provision.
