Junior Cycle Profile of Achievement (JCPA) Privacy Notice
Dear Parent/Guardian,
Please find information below for parents/guardians of students who will receive a JCPA award. This privacy notice has been received from the Department of Education and all schools have been asked to share this with the parents of students who will receive a JCPA award:
PRIVACY NOTICE - Junior Cycle Profile of Achievement Award
For the information of parents/guardians of students who will receive a
Junior Cycle Profile of Achievement (JCPA) award
Introduction
It is required by data protection law that before Awarding Bodies (schools)
commence processing of any personal data a school must first bring a privacy
notice on how the student’s personal data will be processed to the attention of
parents/guardians. This privacy notice relates to those students who have
undertaken Junior Cycle at Level 3, Level 2 or Level 1 of the National
Qualifications Framework. Junior Cycle Level 3 includes exams set by the State
Examinations Commission (SEC), where the provisional results are provided to
schools and students in the September following the sitting of the State
examinations. Junior Cycle Level 2 and Level 1 Learning Programmes are
designed for students with particular special educational needs and is broadly
aligned to Level 2 and 1 of the National Framework for Qualifications (NFQ)
respectively. In some instances students will undertake a combination of a
Level 1, 2 and Level 3 programme.
Process
This document sets out the information in relation to how students’ Junior Cycle
assessment data will be used to produce the Junior Cycle Profile of
Achievement (JCPA). The JCPA has replaced the Junior Certificate award.
Where student details are currently maintained on the Department’s Post-
Primary Online Database (PPOD1) the JCPA will be produced by schools via
PPOD. Where student details are not held on PPOD (e.g. special schools) the
JCPA will be produced via the Junior Cycle Assessment Database (JCAD2).
Schools will be enabled to record additional assessment student data on PPOD
or JCAD for the purpose of producing a Junior Cycle Profile of Achievement
(JCPA) for each of their students who completes the Junior Cycle.
This approach enables
a. Awarding Bodies (schools/centres of education) to record on PPOD or
JCAD the descriptors awarded in Classroom-Based Assessments in
subjects and short courses and also reflect achievement in Priority
Learning Units (PLUs) for students with special educational needs.
b. the State Examinations Commission (SEC) to provide state examinations
final results electronically to the Department of Education and Youth for
upload to PPOD and JCAD and association of these results with each
student.
c. the Department of Education and Youth to facilitate the schools/centres
of education to produce the JCPAs for each student electronically .
d. Awarding Bodies (schools/centres of education) to complete the ‘other
areas of learning’ section of the JCPA for each student and deliver the
award to students. The ‘other areas of learning’ section of the JCPA
allows the school/centre of education to report on other learning
experiences and events that the student has participated in outside the
formal timetabled curriculum. The data entered at school level for ‘other
areas of learning’ will not be stored on the Department’s database.
e. following production of the JCPA for each student the Awarding Bodies
(school/centre of education) to retain a copy of the full JCPA for each
student. The Department will retain copies of JCPAs for at least 30
years. The Department would retain some data indefinitely for statistical
purposes. The data will be retained for the lifetime of the student. Please
note that Department’s obligations under the National Archives Act, 1986
may require it to retain the data for archiving purposes. See guidance
from the National Archives: National Archives GDPR Guidance
f. the data to be anonymised once JCPAs are produced and used in
statistical analysis. No identifiable individual data is used by the
Department except to provide, on request, draft copies of the JCPA to
the Awarding Bodies (schools/centres of education).
It should be noted that only a small number of staff within the Department of
Education and Youth has access to the personal data and then solely to provide
technical support to your school/centre of education when it is using the PPOD
or JCAD application.
Student data as set out below will not be shared with anyone else other than
another post-primary school in which the student enrolls.
Pursuant to Section 3 and Section 4 of the Data Protection Acts, you may
access your personal data and request a copy of your data held on PPOD by
contacting your school, or if you are a former student by contacting the
Department of Education and Youth.
Under data protection law you may object to the processing of your data or
seek to have the data corrected.
More detail on use of personal data by the Department is contained in the FAQ
on PPOD available on https://www.education.ie/en/The-Department/Data-
Protection/FAQ.html.
The Department of Education and Youth Data Controller for PPOD is the
Principal Officer in the Parents, Learners and Database Section within the
Department who can be contacted by e-mailing

Bereavement Notice
Dear Parents, Guardians, Staff and Students,
It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of Reece Farrell, a former pupil of Coláiste Pobail Setanta
Reece was a valued member of our graduating class last year in Rang Lia and we remember him fondly during his time with us. Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with his family, friends, and all who knew and loved Reece at this difficult time.
We recognise that this news may be upsetting for many members of our community. We encourage anyone who may be affected to reach out for support from family, friends, or the school if needed.
Reece was a devoted football fan and if you would lie to attend his funeral, his family would like to see you wearing your favourite football jersey as a fitting tribute to Reece

As a school community, we keep Reece and his loved ones in our thoughts and prayers.

How to Study- Studyclix

Dear Parent,
Students consistently say the same three things: they can't focus, they don't know if their notes are any good, and they study but can't remember anything.

Studyclix has partnered with Super Generation, the study skills experts who work with schools across Ireland, to create a six-part study skills series called How to Study. Free for every student, all year.

For your staff it it can fill a free class with something students will actually use. No prep, printing, or marking, just open a video and press play.

The six episodes:
Improving Your Focus
Getting Organised
Improving Your Memory
The POKER Method (a step-by-step study system)
Recall in Exams
Staying Calm
Each one is short and standalone, so they can be used in any order.

Your students already use Studyclix, so the series sits where they already are: https://www.studyclix.ie/how-to-study?utm_campaign=howtostudylaunch&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_tRUNaavpK4LrvI5nBIklxoidkVV4hhsC4LJuWdrMXC96hiZcCTvSmBS9bgpE2GwHGqGC13dFnLAIP5VTZbGptqIuUwA&_hsmi=435743551&utm_content=435743551&utm_source=hs_email
