Due to the Covid 19 crisis, the JCPA will not be issued this year and will be replaced by a School Report and a State Certificate of Completion (please see https://johnthebaptistcs.ie/reporting-on-third-year-learning-2021/ for more details). Under the new revised arrangements, the school will issue each student a School Report in Summer 2021. The report will contain the following;
- List of subjects with the grades achieved
- CBA results where applicable
- OALs (Other area of learning. e.g. sports, activities etc.)
- Wellbeing learning
We at John the Baptist C.S. want to give every student the opportunity to celebrate all the types of learning that students undertook during their Junior Cycle. We are asking all students to report on their learning through an online form. On the form, students are asked to chose three statements that best suit them under Other Areas of Learning, and three statements under Wellbeing that they would like to be included in their school report. These statements were collected from previous Third Year students, our Student Council, staff and current student suggestions and are in line with JCPA standards, the Statements of Learning and Key skills that underpin the Junior Cycle.
