Fáilte chuig An tSraith Shóisearach

Welcome to the Junior Cycle

Cuireann Gaelcholáiste Reachrann clár iomlán na Sraithe Sóisearaí atá cothrom le dáta ar fáil do gach scoláire thar thrí bliana. Tá sé bunaithe ar fhoghlaim chuimsitheach, mheasúnaithe go leanúnach, agus ar fhorbairt phearsanta agus acadúil gach scoláire. Déantar measúnú ar scoláirí ar bhealaí éagsúla, lena n-áirítear Measúnuithe Rangbhunaithe (MRB), Tascanna Measúnaithe (TM) agus scrúduithe stáit ag deireadh na tríú bliana.

In Gaelcholáiste Reachrann, we provide a full and modern Junior Cycle programme to all students over three years. The programme focuses on inclusive learning, continuous assessment, and the personal and academic development of each learner. Students are assessed through a variety of methods, including Classroom-Based Assessments (CBAs), an Assessment Task, and final state exams at the end of Third Year.

Measúnú sa tSraith Shóisearach

Assessment in the Junior Cycle

Measúnuithe Rangbhunaithe (MRB)

Classroom Based Assessment (CBA)

• • Déantar dhá mheasúnú ranga i ngach ábhar (MRB1 i mBliain 2, MRB2 i mBliain 3).

  • Déantar measúnú orthu ag an múinteoir ranga, agus tugtar tuairisceoir grád:

    • Thar barr ar fad

    • Os cionn na n-ionchas

    • Ag teacht leis na hionchais

    • Níor chomhlíon na hionchais go fóill

Students complete two Classroom-Based Assessments (CBAs) per subject: one in 2nd Year and one in 3rd Year. These are assessed by the class teacher, who assigns one of the following descriptors: Exceptional, Above Expectations, In Line with Expectations, Yet to Meet Expectations

Tasc Measúnaithe (TM)

Assessment Task (AT)

• • • Déantar TM i mBliain 3 agus seoltar chuig an gCoimisiún na Scrúduithe Stáit (CSS).

    • Is fiú 10% den mharc deiridh atá ann.

    • Ní dhéanfar TM ar leith i gcás ábhar a bhfuil scrúdú praiticiúil mar chuid díobh.

The Assessment Task is completed in 3rd Year and submitted to the State Examinations Commission (SEC), worth 10% of the final mark. No AT is required for subjects assessed by practical exams.

Scrúdú Deiridh an Stáit

Final State Exam

• • Déanann gach scoláire scrúdú scríofa i mí an Mheithimh i mBliain 3.

  • Tá siad ullmhaithe ag an SEC agus déanann an CSS iad a cheartú.

All students sit a final written state examination in June of 3rd Year. These are set and corrected by the SEC.
