In preparation for first year in Abbey Community College, our incoming students are faced with the important decision of choosing their Optional Subjects.
Students can be overawed when they learn that they have to study 10 subjects for examination at Junior Cycle, many of which are completely new. However, in our experience, students adjust quite quickly to the new challenges of second level.
The notes and links attached within our Information Booklet will assist students and parents/guardians in choosing the subjects that will be studied at Junior Cycle in Abbey Community College.
We ask you to read the contents in detail and pay careful attention to the advice we offer you on subject choice. It is vital that you consider this carefully so that you have all the information you will need to help you be ready for 1st Year in Abbey Community College.
We would also ask you to read the attached document which outlines the Junior Cycle programme: Junior Cycle Information for Parents of Primary Students
