Junior Cycle

The Department of Education and Skills introduced a New framework for Junior Cycle on a phased basis from September 2014. The rational underpinning the new Junior Cert is to enable learners to achieve their full potential and contribute to Ireland’s economic, social and cultural development. As a progressive 21st century school here in Coláiste Iosagáin we are working on updating our curriculum and developing the programme we offer at Junior Cycle.

The subjects on offer for the Junior Cycle at Coláiste Iosagáin are as follows:

Core:

  • Religious Education
  • English
  • Gaeilge
  • Mathematics
  • History
  • Geography
  • French/German (Students sample both and choose at Halloween break in First Year)
