Junior Cycle Wood technology aims to develop the necessary conceptual understanding, disciplinary skills, and subject knowledge to investigate and solve real-life problems while progressing the development of a range of manipulative skills through processing wood and other materials.

For Junior Cycle, Wood Technology is assessed by means of a terminal written examination (30%), a practical project and portfolio (70%), along with two Classroom-Based Assessments (CBA’s):

CBA 1 - Wood science in our environment

                           and

CBA 2 - Self-analysis and evaluation

Leaving Cert Construction Studies:

Construction Studies introduces students to the knowledge and skills associated with construction technology, construction materials and practices. This is achieved through theoretical study and integrated practical projects which provide a basis for the thorough exploration of materials and processes. Construction studies is assessed at both Ordinary level and Higher level in Leaving Certificate by means of a terminal written examination (50%), a student project with portfolio (25%) and a practical examination (25%) 

Construction Studies looks at the following content:

 Part I – Construction Theory and Drawing

Part II – Practical Skills
