School Library Movies

Movies@Cinemas is now offering an impressive library of school films that are on the Leaving Certificate Examination 2012 that we can screen for pupils and teachers.

Education is paramount for our youth and we take education very seriously by making school content available to all our customers.

Learning which takes place beyond the classroom walls plays an important role in students' social and cultural education.

The experience of film goes far beyond the cinema. Prior to a screening, teachers can involve their whole class in preparing for the event, for example, investigating current films' releases or exploring the issues that feature in their chosen film.

Whatever your focus, film can provide a valuable, accessible and engaging mode of delivery to learners.

Tickets €5.50 per student.
Ticket plus popcorn and drink combo €10.00 per student.
