Our Junior Cert Home Economics students must complete a practical examination as part of their overall grade for their Home Economics Studies. This practical examination is usually held during the last few weeks leading to Easter Break of Junior Cert year.
The Department of Education issue seven food and culinary skills tasks each year, and at least two weeks before the exam the tasks are drawn by each individual student.
The student then has one and a half hours to complete their individual task with a half hour preparation time before the exam. The exam is marked out of 35% for higher-level students and 45% for ordinary level students by an external examiner.
Here are some of our Junior Certificate Students Food and Culinary Skills Examination Submissions, showing their imagination and individual skills.
