nues to be a lot of uncertainty for students over this year’s Junior Certificate, in particular in light of media reports in recent days. The Department for Education has said that there will not be a state certified Junior Certificate for 2020. However, we currently do not have any details of the department’s announcements about school-based assessment for Junior Cycle students in the Autumn. The Minister for Education has asked schools to delay making any decisions around the assessment of Junior Cycle students until DES have completed their discussion with the relevant education partners in the coming days. Once we have more information we will notify parents and students. In the meantime teachers will continue to complete courses and communicate with 3rd Year students through our Office 365 platform. We know that it may be incredibly hard for students to stay motivated in the midst of such uncertainty, but we ask that you keep communicating with your teachers and completing as much work as your situation allows. This work, progress and learning routine will serve as good preparation for your 5th Year courses. As always please do not hesitate to contact us through office@presmilltown.ie if we can do anything to help at this difficult time. .........

ng group developed by the Department of Education, which will discuss specific areas related to the decision to postpone exams. Therefore, we would like to find out how 6th year students feel about these projects as well as practicals, and what they think should happen. Attached below, is the link to a comprehensive survey that will tell us what students want. The more responses we get the more representative our survey is. Since the announcement made by Minister Joe McHugh in relation to the postponements of exams, the ISSU is working with the Department of Education and other stakeholders in order to ensure that this decision is fair and just for everyone. We are now part of a working group developed by the Department of Education, which will discuss specific areas related to the decision to postpone exams. One of these areas is Projects and Practical Work. We have had a very mixed response from students on this and we want to collect some data in order to clarify what the student response is on this issue. This survey is only to be filled out by Leaving Certificate 2020 students. PLEASE NOTE: There are many questions which students have raised since the decision to postpone exams was announced and we are consistently raising ALL of your concerns, this is just one of these questions which we want to get more clarification from our members on. This survey relates solely to the scenario where exams are taking place in the summer.
