Transition year

Transition year co-ordinator, Edel Walsh

Transition year is provided as an optional course each year to a limited number of students. We have received very positive feedback from students, parents and others who have already experienced the programme. It is seen as a worthwhile and realistic programme while fulfilling the following basic aims:

1. Providing a transition between junior and senior cycle.
2. Introducing a new range of experiences which traditional exam orientated courses cannot include.
3. Laying the foundation for further study in Senior Cycle and third level, for adult education and lifelong learning.
4. To introduce students actively to the world of work and work simulation and to help students decide on a suitable career.
