Senior Cycle Social, Personal and Health Education (SPHE) is designed to support schools in providing a minimum of 60 hours learning in SPHE over the final two years of senior cycle education. Separate guidance for provision of SPHE within Transition Year can be accessed here.
Learning in SPHE aims to empower students to
- be healthy, resilient, confident, responsible and empathetic young adults
- nurture respectful, loving and caring relationships and
- prepare for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of life now and beyond school
