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
timetable we have a double period for visiting speakers and a double period for Physical Education (PE).
