The Junior Certificate programme is an essential educational milestone in Irish secondary schools. Lasting for three years, this programme focuses on a wide range of subjects, including core areas like English, Irish, and Maths, as well as various optional subjects that cater to students’ interests and career aspirations. The programme culminates in a series of examinations, which assess students’ knowledge and skills, and serves as a foundation for further education, including the Senior Cycle and Transition Year options. Emphasising both academic achievement and personal development, the Junior Certificate aims to equip students with the necessary competencies for their future educational endeavors and life beyond school. In Ó Fiaich College we offer a wide range of subjects at Junior Certificate including: English, Irish, Maths, History, French, Religion, Wood technology, Science, Business Studies, Home Economics, Music, CSPE, SPHE, Life Skills, Art and PE.
