Transition Year Programme
Transition Year is a one-year programme taken after the Junior Cycle and before beginning the Leaving Certificate. Its aim is to promote personal, social, and educational development while giving students the opportunity to explore new interests, learn in different ways, and prepare for the challenges of Senior Cycle and life beyond school.
Our TY programme combines:
- Core subjects to maintain essential skills in English, Irish, Maths, and other key areas
- Taster of Senior Cycle subjects to support students in their subject choice for their Leaving Certificate.
- Modules and short courses in areas such as Enterprise, ICT, GAA Future Leaders, Junk Kouture, Active Schools, Public Speaking, and community action
- Work experience to develop workplace skills and explore career options
- Trips, projects, and workshops that encourage creativity, teamwork, and independent thinking
- School Musical is an integral part of our TY programme encouraging students to step out of their comfort zone and into a world of drama, music, fun and budding friendships
- Wellbeing and personal development activities to build confidence, resilience, and life skills
Transition Year gives students the space to mature, discover their strengths, and take on new challenges — ensuring they are ready to make the most of their Senior Cycle.
