Welcome to the Senior Cycle Skill-builder course
Get started with spunout’s free, self-directed e-learning course aligned with senior cycle SPHE and Bí Cineálta
The Senior Cycle Skill-builder is an e-learning course that helps senior cycle students (16+) develop key skills to support their mental health and wellbeing, and be a positive force in the lives of others. The course supports social and emotional learning in Transition Year and beyond. It has been developed to align with specific learning outcomes from the new senior cycle SPHE curriculum and to support the prevention of bullying behaviours under Bí Cineálta
