Transition Year
This is an exciting one year programme available to our students immediately after Junior Certificate. It is a foundation year for Leaving Certificate.
“I have really loved TY and I am glad that I did it. It has helped me develop confidence and now I find it much easier to talk to people”
The benefits of doing Transition Year:
A maturing year.
A year which allows students to then pursue the Leaving Certificate with more purpose and motivation.
The curriculum has been developed with an academic focus to provide a strong foundation for the Leaving Certificate.
Students will make more informed decisions on subject choice.
The year allows independent and self-directed learning, self-management skills and time management skills.
Statistically proven that students who complete TY, attain higher points in their Leaving- Certificate.
“I was unsure first about TY but it has helped me decide my subjects for 5th year.”
