Junior Cycle Framework:
Parents are asked to note that in line with the New Junior Cycle Framework, Classroom Based Assessments (CBAs) are run throughout the year in 2nd year so your daughter’s attendance at school is of vital importance.
There will be CBAs for each subject, in general the first one in 2nd year and a second one in 3rd year. These could range from project tasks, oral language tasks and investigations, to practical or design and/or make tasks, field studies etc.
Parents can also learn about the Junior Cycle from the following two websites:
