Junior Cycle

At St Muredach’s our First Year students study all Junior Cycle subjects on offer for the academic year. By doing so, they are best equipped to choose the subjects which they wish to continue in Second and Third Year.

Core Subjects

These are subjects that students will study for the duration of Junior Cycle (three years). Each subject link below takes you to its page on the NCCA (National Council for Curriculum and Assessment) website.

Optional Subjects (for second and third year)

In spring of First Year, our students are surveyed by our guidance counsellor on their subject preferences. Based on the results of the survey, the following subjects are divided into three groups with one subject to be chosen from each group. This method ensures that our subject provision is in line with the wishes of students and parents.
