Guidance
The marking of Junior Cycle Examination 2022 Appeals is now complete and students have been informed of any changes (if any) to their grades awarded by the State Examinations Commission. During the next few weeks, the school will finalise the Junior Cycle Profile of Achievement (JCPA) certificates for our Junior Cycle 2022 students, which will contain the following information:
-
The results of Junior Cycle State Examinations.
-
A descriptor for completed Classroom Based Assessments in each subject studied at Junior Cycle.
-
Student achievement in the area of ‘Wellbeing’.
-
Student achievement in the area of ‘Other Areas of Learning’.
In the Other Areas of Learning section of the JCPA, students’ non-academic achievements within the school community during their three years at Junior Cycle are reported. The student describes the skills they developed through participation in extra-curricular school activities. Any learning experience which has allowed students to develop skills and has benefitted them as a whole can be included here, and the student writes the entry themselves.
All TY students will be instructed on how to complete their entry, which should be submitted via Google Classroom (code 5zcyvh4)by 6pm on Friday March 31st 2023. Their entry should be written in the third person and should not exceed 750 characters. Students should discuss their entries with parent(s) or guardians before their entries are submitted. Attached is a Parent’s Guide to the JCPA. A PDF of the students’ instructions will be available under the Curriculum tab of the school website during the week. You can submit any questions or queries to jcpa@staugustines.ie

National Finalists in the Certified Irish Angus Beef Competition

Congratulations and best of luck to TY students Sarah Buckley (Aglish) and Lisa Dunwoody (Kilrossanty) who are National Finalists in the Certified Irish Angus Beef Schools Competition 2023 and are on their way to Croke Park.
They will present their project and findings to judges from ABP, Kepak and Certified Irish Angus Producer Group on Friday, March 31, and hope to win five prize Angus calves.
The girls covered topics such as promoting Angus to the consumer, branding, easy recipes and different cuts of Angus. The importance of cooking all parts of the animal feeding into zero food waste and sustainability.
The girls returned to their old Primary Schools in Aglish and Kilrossanty to speak to Fourth and Fifth class about the Certified Irish Angus Beef Schools Competition, their research to date and they discussed with them the importance of the consumer knowing where their meat comes from and that it is ethically sourced.
At present, the girls are busy working on their final presentation and stand, which they hope will impress the judges. I am so proud of their work and dedication to date. This week they have scheduled appointments with local chefs and will pick up more tips and tricks of the trade to further enhance their project.
Fingers crossed for Sarah and Lisa who have done great work to date on raising awareness and finding out how to keep beef farming sustainable into the future by informing the younger generation and promoting Certified Irish Angus.
Good luck on Friday.
AWARE life skills

Aware Life Skills for Schools is designed to help young people learn new ways to deal with challenges in life. Today we were delighted to have Aware facilitator Liz Oakham deliver the 1st 2 modules of a 4 week programme to 27 of our TY students. The programme uses an approach based on the principles of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) which focuses on thinking and behaviour.
The programme contains eight modules delivered over four weeks in 75 minute sessions. This gives students time to reflect on the key learning point each week and time to experiment with the ‘new ways of thinking’ presented. The weekly schedule also allows time for students to raise any questions they might have with their programme instructor.

Having taken the under-17 doubles Munster crown it was on to Kingscourt in Co. Cavan and the All-Ireland Championships for Friary’s Rody Morrissey and Daithi Colleran last weekend.
On Saturday the Friary Abbeyside Ballinacourty boys had a fantastic 21-7, 21-11 win against the Ulster champions from Monaghan, Donnacha McCluskey and Ethan McCarron in the semi-final to get them to Sunday’s final.
In the final, they played Leinster Champions from Wexford Jamie Barnes and Jack Whitty. In a high-quality match, unfortunately, the Wexford boys proved to be too strong on the day and ran out 21-7, 21-9. Congratulations to Rody and Daithi on a brilliant tournament, on reaching the All-Ireland final, and bringing back the silver medal to the club and County.

Munster Hockey semifinal win

Our Junior 1 team have progressed to the Munster Hockey final after the most dramatic of games against Crescent College of Limerick.
The Friary girls blitzed the start of the game as they came firing out of the blocks, Sarah Gaffney getting on top in midfield and creating chances through the centre of the pitch. However it was from the right where we made the breakthrough as Aoife Lattimore beat two defenders before squaring the ball to Siun Kiely who made no mistake placing it first time into the goal. More chances fell to Siun and Rebecca Nunan but both were put narrowly wide.
The second quarter the tide started to turn and our defense were called upon as Crescent began to dominate. Sarah Moloney, Juliette Walsh and Lucy Gough were keeping the Crescent attackers at bay until a lapse in concentration allowed a Crescent girl to sneak in at the back post to level the game 1:1.
Halftime came at the right time as a couple of injury enforced substitutions and positional changes meant the girls were refocused for the 2nd half.
Very few chances were created in the 3rd quarter as despite some slick passing from both sides the two evenly matched teams were cancelling each other out.
The final quarter saw both teams go all out for the goal that would send their side through to the final with the best chance falling to the Friary as a Meadhbh Moynihan pass across the goal was just out of reach of Rebecca Nunan. Shuttles were looking increasingly likely and so it proved to be as the full time whistle blew.
First up were the Friary and Emma Curran got us off to the perfect start as she calmly rounded the Crescent keeper and slotted the ball into the goal.
Next it was Crescent’s turn but our keeper Cashel Corby was up to the task making a fantastic diving save to keep us in control.
The next 6 penalties (3 for each team) were all missed as a mixture of great goalkeeping and nerves meant it stayed 1:0.
So with our 5th and final shuttle, the chance to win it fell to our youngest player Aoibheann Ryan. Showing no sign of nerves she struck the ball cleanly and the sound of the ball hitting the backboard of the goal meant we were through to the Munster final!
The final will take place after the Easter break against Rockwell College of Tipperary, day and time to be confirmed.
Best of Luck to 2nd Year Noah Commins running for Ireland tomorrow.
