Junior Cycle Factsheets
The NCCA has put together a set of fact sheets which give information about the different subjects available in junior cycle. While the fact sheets have been designed with sixth class pupils and first year students in mind, they will also be useful for parents.
They can be used by first year tutors and guidance counsellors in post-primary schools and teachers of senior classes in primary schools. They will also be useful for school information evenings and open days.
Subject Fact Sheets for the Junior Certificate can be found here.
Senior Cycle Curriculum
Senior Cycle students may take a variety of programmes, including Transition Year, Leaving Certificate (Established), Leaving Certificate Vocational Programme and Leaving Certificate Applied. NPCPP provide a Leaving Cert Helpline 1890 345 356 and a dedicated Leaving cert helpline section on our website.
