Junior Cycle

The Junior Cycle experience at Loreto Foxrock is designed to support students as they grow academically, personally and socially during their first three years of secondary school. Students follow a broad curriculum that includes core subjects, wellbeing and a range of optional subjects, listed below, encouraging them to discover their strengths, interests and talents. Through engaging learning experiences, students develop the knowledge, skills and confidence needed to thrive in school and beyond.

Detailed information about all Junior Cycle subjects, assessment and reporting processes can be found in our Junior Cycle Subject Information Booklet above, which has been carefully prepared by our Guidance Department and subject teachers to provide students and parents with a clear understanding of the Junior Cycle programme at Loreto Foxrock. We encourage students and parents to consult the booklet when making subject choices and exploring the opportunities available to them during the Junior Cycle.
