Transition Year Programme (Compulsory)

Transition Year has been in existence in our school since 1994. The programme is compulsory and focuses
on four main areas:
• Continuation of the core subjects
• Subject sampling for the Leaving Certifi cate programme
• TY specifi c modules and subjects
• Once off calendar events

OUR VISION

To maintain an effectively pupil-centred TY Programme with maximum whole school and community
involvement. Each student should continue to develop academically, socially, and personally and at the
end of their TY each student will have developed all the skills necessary to successfully complete their
Senior Cycle.

OVERVIEW OF THE PROGRAMME

Within our school the core subjects of English, Irish and Maths are continued with three class periods
per week. All students continue to study French and sample Leaving Certifi cate subjects. We provide TY
specifi c modules. The modules include Coding, Product Design & Development, Design Communications
and Graphics (DCG), Media, Climate Literacy, Sports Coaching, Photography, Art, and Cookery.
Subjects specifi c to TY students are also provided; these include Career Guidance, Young Social Innovators
(YSI), Global Schools, Agriculture/Horticulture, Fashion Design, S.P.H.E, Mini Company, World Religions,
Driving Theory and Computers.
