Junior Certificate Science is compulsory for all students. They do 4 periods a week in 1st, 2nd and 3rd year. Here in CCS, we work through the new syllabus for science. This syllabus was introduced to cater for the full range of student ability, aptitude and achievement. The course is divided into three sections, Biology, Chemistry and Physics, and is concerned with the development of scientific knowledge, skills, concepts, and attitudes essential for the responsibilities of citizenship in today's world.
