Dear Parents, Guardians & Students, Please see attached two PDF documents in relation to the new Junior Cycle. The first PDF outlines our Classroom Based Assessment (CBA) calendar for the academic year 2020 - 2021. 3rd Year CBAs are taking place since September and will conclude in December. 2nd Year CBAs will take place from January to May and are highlighted in green on the calendar. The second PDF is an updated reporting document which outlines which subjects are now in the new Junior Cycle and which grading system each subject is currently using. As you will see from this document all subjects for our current 1st and 2nd Year students are now in the new Junior Cycle and therefore will be graded using the new grading system e.g. Distinction, Higher Merit, Merit etc. Our current 3rd Year students are using a combination of both the traditional grading system e.g. A,B,C etc. and the new Junior Cycle grading system e.g. Distinction, Higher Merit, Merit etc. The combination of both grading systems reflects the gradual roll-in of new Junior Cycle subjects over the last few years. Only three subjects in 3rd Year are using the traditional grading system (Religion, Technical Graphics and MTW - Materials Technology Wood). This is the last year these three subjects will use the traditional grading system. By September 2021 all subjects from 1st to 3rd Year will use the new grading system. Please visit our website www.naascbs.ie and click the 'JCT' tab for further information.
