Junior Certificate School Programme

The Basic theme of the programme is to recognise achievements and thus boost the student's self esteem.

The Junior Certificate School Programme (JCSP) is a support programme for students in the Junior Certificate Cycle. This programme is run alongside the Junior Certificate. The student's learning is reinforced continuously as they complete short term targets. This leads to the awarding of statements for work sucessfully completed within the Junior Certificate Curriculum. These statements are set and certified by the Department of Education and Science. All the statements that each student achieves are awarded in the JCSP certificate which is presented to the students before they sit their Junior Certificate, by the Department of Education and Science.
