IMPORTANT - Leaving Certificate Examination 2023 Confirmation Of Entries
Created : 07 Feb 2023, 12:30 PM
Archived : 07 Apr 2023, 12:00 AM
In 2021, the State Examinations Commission (SEC) as part of its digital strategy, introduced a facility to allow Leaving Certificate candidates to confirm their subject and level entry details online (including adding or withdrawing from subjects), replacing the previous system of using individual Leaving Certificate candidate (E7) entry forms. The use of the online system, the Candidate Self Service Portal (CSSP) will continue for the 2023 Leaving Certificate. The CSSP will open at 1pm on Wednesday 8 February for candidates to confirm their subject entries and levels. It will remain open for this purpose until 5pm on Tuesday 21 February. School authorities will have a role later on in the process in checking and confirming the information provided by candidates. During this time Leaving Certificate Applied Year 2 candidates will be required to: Register and create their account. During this time Leaving Certificate (excluding Leaving Certificate Applied) candidates will be required to complete the following: Step 1: Register and create their portal account Step 2: Activate their account by selecting the link sent to the email that they registered on the portal Step 3: Confirm their subject and level entry details, and add or delete subjects from the records presented to them. If applicable, amend any inaccuracy in their name and/or date of birth. Reviewing and Confirming Subjects and Levels. The portal will be pre-populated with the data entered by schools through the PPOD October returns process (i.e. Names, Date of Births, Subjects & Levels). This means that only those subjects which candidates have been studying in schools will be displayed on the portal. Candidates should select the level at which they are currently studying each subject. The SEC will use this information for planning purposes. We will also provide this information to schools through a turnaround document for review. Candidates will be permitted to change levels in the written examinations on the day of the examination, as in previous years. Candidates will have the opportunity to add any subjects that they are studying outside of school or to delete subjects if they are no longer intending to present for examinations in particular subjects. It is extremely important that candidates take the time to ensure that their examination entries are correct on the portal before they submit. Once a candidate has confirmed their subjects and levels on the portal they will not be able to log back into the portal to update their data. Candidates will receive a confirmation email outlining the subjects and levels they are entered for. If a candidate notices an error on their confirmation email they must contact the school in relation to the error. Reviewing and Confirming Name and Date of Birth For 2023, a new feature has been added to the CSSP. If the prepopulated name and date of birth is incorrect, candidates will have an opportunity to update their record on the CSSP during the registration process. Once they have completed the registration process they will not be able to log back in to update. Role of Schools in Checking and Confirming the Information Updated by Candidates When the candidate entry confirmation process on the CSSP has concluded, the SEC will provide schools with a report of the entries(Matrix) for the candidates in the school for review and confirmation. For data and examinations integrity reasons, schools will also be issued with a turnaround document for verification in respect of any candidates who have updated their names and/or date of births. Having this data captured accurately now will reduce our requirement to contact schools and candidates in the summer period. Further information and relevant amendment forms will be sent with the Matrix report. It is only after the portal has closed and the matrix has issued that the SEC will update candidate data at the request of school. We appreciate your assistance at this time in ensuring that all candidates are notified about this process and complete their entry confirmation by the closing date. Access to the Portal Leaving Certificate candidates will access the portal at www.examinations.ie from Wednesday 8 February at 1pm. A CSSP Before You Start Guide 2023 will be provided which candidates should read before commencing the process. To access the portal, candidates will need the following: - their examination number (The SEC provided these to schools before Christmas) - Personal Identification Number (PIN). The PIN will be the first 4 digits of the candidate’s Personal Public Services Number (PPS number). In the event that a candidate does not have a PPS number or a PPS was not recorded a unique PIN will be created and issued to the school prior to the portal opening. - an email address and mobile phone number to which the candidate will have regular access to over the coming months. Examination Fees 2023 Arrangements regarding fees for 2023 will be notified at a later stage.

Winners will be invited on a tour of Leinster House, followed by lunch in Dáil Éireann as a guest of the Minister for Education. A certificate and medal will be awarded to each category winner.

Well done to all the students who made St Brigid's Crosses, today, the eve of St Brigid's Day. We began by learning about St Brigid's qualities of compassion and care, listened to stories and learned how to make the Crosses. It was both interesting and enjoyable.

We are delighted to be welcoming Fr. Darby to celebrate mass with our school community in honour of the feast of St. Brigid. Mass will take place in our school's sacred space at 8:30am and all are very welcome to attend. Prayer to St. Brigid You were a woman of peace. You brought harmony where there was conflict. You brought light to the darkness. You brought hope to the downcast. May the mantle of your peace cover those who are troubled and anxious, and may peace be firmly rooted in our hearts and in our world. Inspire us to act justly and to reverence all God has made. Brigid you were a voice for the wounded and the weary. Strengthen what is weak within us. Calm us into a quietness that heals and listens. May we grow each day into greater wholeness in mind, body and spirit. Amen
