A Parent’s Guide to the Junior Cycle
Transitioning to Post-Primary and Supporting Your Child Through the Junior Cycle

Are you the parent or guardian of an incoming first year or Junior Cycle student?
If so,

Are you concerned about your child starting first year in September?
Would you like to know how to support your child’s successful learning and social development through the Junior Cycle?
Are you aware of the new requirements for the Junior Cycle?
If you answered Yes to any of these questions, A Parent’s Guide to the Junior Cycle is for you. The world of education for post-primary students has changed significantly over the past number of years, particularly with the establishment of the new Junior Cycle.
Coming with the new Junior Cycle is a new language which parents need to be familiar with if they are to understand the educational journey of their child and the assessment approaches awaiting them in post-primary school.
