For the attention of second year parents and students:
Junior Cycle students are required to complete classroom based assessments (CBAs) in each of their subjects, the results of which are reported on their Junior Cycle Profile of Achievement (JCPA) at the end of year 3. The purpose of CBAs is to allow students to demonstrate their understanding of concepts and skills and their ability to apply them in ways that may not be possible in an externally assessed examination. The completed CBAs are assessed by students’ teachers.
During their time at Junior Cycle, students undertake two CBAs facilitated by their teacher, one in second year and one in third year. Classroom-Based Assessments in all subjects are specified at a common level. The assessments associated with CBAs cover a broad range of activities including oral tasks, written work of different types, practical or designing and making tasks, artistic performances, scientific experiments, projects or other suitable tasks depending on the subject in question.
Please see the attached document which outlines the schedule for the completion of CBA 1 for our current second year students. Note that these assessments are classroom based and should not require additional work at home outside of school hours.
