Junior Cycle

Junior Cycle caters for students in the first three years of their post-primary education. The Framework for Junior Cycle provides the basis for planning quality, inclusive and relevant education programmes with improved learning experiences for all students, including those with special educational needs. It is underpinned by eight principles:

We offer a broad range of subjects and short courses with a particular focus on key skills. Key skills help learners develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes to face the many challenges in today’s world. They also support students in learning how to learn and to take responsibility for their own learning.

Junior Certificate Schools  Programme

Along with the Junior Cycle, our school participates in the Junior Certificate Schools Programme.

This programme aims to provide a curriculum framework that assists schools and teachers in making the Junior Certificate more accessible to those young people who may leave school without formal qualifications. It attempts to help young people experience success and develop a positive self-image by providing a curriculum and assessment framework suitable to their needs.
