Junior Cycle Curriculum

In first year, our students sample and participate in all core, elective and non-exam subjects. Each student will maintain the core subjects and choose to study additional subjects from our broad range of elective subjects for examination. They also participate in a student-centred wellbeing programme. Each student will experience active learning methodologies and a range of assessment methods, including written examinations, Classroom Based Assessments, presentations and other formative assessment activities.
