The Junior Cycle of Post-Primary education in Ireland is changing. From 2014, the new junior cycle will feature newly developed subjects and short courses, a focus on literacy, numeracy and key skills, and new approaches of assessment and reporting. In John the Baptist C.S., we are embracing this exciting time in Education.
