    Myself and a group of other trainee teachers in UL are looking to design a short course for the new Junior Cert curriculum, and we were hoping to get some opinions from Junior Cert students about what you'd like to see. We're currently thinking of designing a short course in psychology for Second and Third year students, would this be something you'd be interested in?

    I've attached a poll, but I'd be really interested to hear what kind of things you'd like to see in any new Short Courses (although I know most of you won't ever get to do them). They can be able anything, from Chinese to Philosophy to P.E.

    If anyone has any questions on the new junior cert that you're curious about I'd be happy to try to answer them as well.

    I think the Junior Cert doesn't teach me enough about myself and my relationships

    I'm in 5th year but have loved to do Psychology as part of the JC.. Wish it was on the LC course!
    Japanese might be cool as you could go on to do it for the leaving and I'd say a lot of people would be interested in drama/performing arts and maybe something like film studies?:)
    Philosophy would be interesting too.
