We focus on skills like research, presentation, and creativity across various subjects, resulting in a descriptor (e.g., “Above Expectations”) on the Junior Cycle Profile of Achievement (JCPA).
We provide comprehensive support to help students excel in their CBAs, from planning and research to presentation skills.
CBA Key Points
- Mandatory for 2nd and 3rd year students
- Showcases learning beyond final exams
