Physical Education

PE – Junior Cycle

First year

In first year, there are two one-hour lessons a week. One class looks at games-based activity for 8 weeks, and the other class looks at key skills development for those 8 weeks.

Over the course of the year, students will do 8 different activities following the PE Scheme of Work. There is no assessment in first year PE, rather we focus on developing your core skills.

Activities – 8 lessons each

Second and Third year

In second and third year there are three one-hour lessons per week. Activities here are for 8 weeks (see possible activities listed below). These are subject to change; you will not repeat in third year activities you did in second year.

In second year students complete a CBA on fitness where they design and implement their own circuit training programme. In third year students carry out a Performance CBA on Athletics.
