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:
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.
