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.
