Teachers and Subjects
New Class
You are assigned to a base class in first year.
This is mixed ability. Over the year, your teachers
get to know your talents and aptitudes very well. At the
end of first year, you will be reassigned to a new class,
based on your work and participation over first year.
The Junior Certification Schools Programme is different
in that students remain in that class grouping until the end
of third year. This class, which is smaller in size, allows for a
variety of practical subjects and extra tuition.
New Subjects
You will have covered many of the subjects in secondary before.
However, some subjects will be new, like French, Business, Science,
C.S.P.E. and Home Economics. Look upon these subjects as an exciting
challenge. Try not to be worried or anxious about these subjects, because
everyone in your class is facing them too for the first time.
Differnt Teachers
In primary school, you were used to only one teacher for all subjects.
In secondary school. You will generally have a different teacher for each
subject. This is good because you learn in lots of different ways. It also makes
the day more interesting and enjoyable. Remember that different teachers require
different things of you, so you must learn to be flexible and adaptable in class.
Moving To Rooms
Unlike primary school, you go to the teacher's room for class.
This gives you a chance to stretch your legs and work in different rooms.
The specialist rooms are rooms like the Art Room, the Science Labratory,
the Kitchen and the Computer Room.
