Other Areas of Learning (OALs) record student achievement, involvement, and participation across a wide range of areas through school-based activities in the Junior Cycle. This information is written by the students themselves and will appear on their Junior Cycle Profile of Achievement (JCPA) certificate. Examples include participation in sporting activities, charity fundraisers, involvement in school events, school clubs, and student leadership roles. Please note that activities outside of school are not eligible to be included in the JCPA.
All 3rd Year students have been compiling this information since 1st Year and have recently received guidance on how to write the final draft of their OALs during an assembly. For more information on OALs and a guide to writing them, please refer to the attached PDF.
Parents are strongly encouraged to sit down with their daughter to review and finalise the information that will appear on her official JCPA document.
The final OALs must be submitted by students through the Word document shared with them. The submission deadline is Friday, 11th April 2025.
