Religion

This syllabus provides students with a framework for understanding the variety of religious traditions in Ireland and elsewhere.  It offers opportunities to develop an informed and critical understanding of the Christian tradition and seeks to develop in students the skills needed to engage in meaningful dialogue with those of other, or of no, religious traditions. It covers teaching and learning for the first, second and third years in post-primary school. It is assessed by examination at the end of third year at Ordinary and Higher Levels.  There are two assessment components – journal work (20%) and a terminal written examination (80%).

The general aim of education is to contribute towards the development of all aspects of the individual, including aesthetic, creative, critical, cultural, emotional, intellectual, moral, physical, political, social and spiritual development, for personal and family life, for working life, for living in community and for leisure. The Junior Certificate Programme is designed to meet the needs of all students in second-level education.
The programme is taught over three years and the syllabus  has TWO parts which include  the following sections:
Section A: Communities of Faith
Section B: Foundations of Religion – Christianity
Section C: Foundations of Religion – Major World Religions
Section D: The Question of Faith
Section E: The Celebration of Faith
Section F: The Moral Challenge
The journal work must be completed in third year by all students with the title for journal work being selected from a set of titles provided to us in the year of examination.
