Junior Cycle

In 2014, the new Junior Cycle was introduced into Irish schools on a phased basis alongside the existing Junior Certificate. It features revised subjects and short courses and a stronger focus on Literacy, Numeracy, Wellbeing and developing Key Skills. In keeping with the new Junior Cycle, many subjects now have a new subject specification and students are completing Classroom Based Assessments (CBA’s) and Assessment Tasks whilst also encompassing a range of other essential learning experiences. From 2020 onwards all subjects are under the new Junior Cycle.

The following subjects are offered at Junior Cycle in St. David's CBS:

  • Gaeilge
  • English
  • Maths
  • Science

CBAs - Classroom Based Assessments:
