Junior Certificate of Education (JCE)

What is a JCE?

The Junior Certificate of Education is a school based junior schooling qualification awarded to eligible students at the end of Year 10 on successful completion of the junior phase of learning.

At Ormeau Woods SHS, the JCE has been strategically designed with 3 aspects in mind:

  • As an explicit framework to track student progress and engagement

  • A tool to enable students to self-regulate their own learning through a     systemic cycle of inquiry

  • Recognition of students readiness to embark on their Senior Schooling journey 


How the JCE Works

For a student to be awarded a JCE they will need to achieve a significant amount of learning, at a set standard – including being literate and numerate. This requires achieving a ‘C’ standard or higher in a number of core and elective subjects across 3 Semesters in Year 9 and 10.

 

To be awarded the Ormeau Woods SHS Junior Certificate of Education (JCE) students must:

  • Accumulate a minimum of 10 out of the 12 available credits per Semester.

  • Achieve a C standard or better in English & Maths in at least 1 Semester

 

Year 7 and 8 will be regarded as transition years where students will track their results, only credits achieved in Semester 1 and 2 of Year 9 and Semester 1 of Year 10 will be used to achieve the JCE.
