The Junior Cycle Profile of Achievement (JCPA) - A Focus on Other Areas of Learning (OALs) 

The Junior Cycle Profile of Achievement (JCPA) contains:
  1. The results of your Junior Cycle State Examinations in June 2019
  2. The descriptions of your Classroom Based Assessments (CBAs)
  3. Information on in-school 'Other Areas of Learning" (OALs) you have undertaken during 1st, 2nd and 3rd Year 
The aim of the Other Areas of Learning (OALs) section in the JCPA is to enable students to get credit for non-academic achievements made during the course of their Junior Cycle. OALs record student achievement, involvement and participation across a broad range of areas of learning through school-based activities. Activities participated in outside of school are not allowed to be considered. Students must submit at least three, and at most five OALs for inclusion in their JCPA. These OAL achievements should be reflective of the Junior Cycle Key Skills and Statements of Learning and written in the third person.

The first file below illustrates examples of how other students have combined their achievements with Key Skills & Statements of Learning in the construction of their OALs. Third years together with their parents/guardians are encouraged to review these examples along with the Key Skills and Statements of Learning while writing the OALs. Note, the OALs must be written in the third person and consist of 120 words at most. The OALs are to be written into students SPHE copy and afterwards they are to be submitted to the school using an online form. This online form will be completed by students during SPHE class towards the end of May 2019. See the OALs Online Form document below for the format it will take.
