(Click here to view images from previous musicals)

Transition Year is a one year programme between Junior and Senior Cycle. It is designed to act as a bridge between the two, facilitating the smooth transition from the more dependent learning of the Junior Cycle to the more independent self-directed learning required for Senior Cycle.

The aims of the programme are three fold:

  1. Education for MATURITY with emphasis on social awareness & increased social competence
  2. Education through experience of ADULT & WORKING LIFE as a basis for personal development & maturity
  3. Promotion of general, technical and academic SKILLS with an emphasis on interdisciplinary and self-directed learning.


The outline programme of activity is below and full details can be viewed in this presentation.
