               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 four 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 Japanese Culture, Product Design & Development, Design
               Communications and Graphics (DCG), Music, Performing Arts, Sports Coaching, Photography, Art, and
               Cookery.
               Subjects specifi c to TY students are also provided; these include Career Guidance, Tourism Awareness,
               S.P.H.E, Mini Company, World Religions, Steerclear (Driving Theory) and Computers. Also, within our
