Transition Year Update
In a typically busy first half term, our Transition Year pupils have quickly adapted to the demands of the year. While busy in their classes, there have been lots of opportunities for learning outside of the classroom including this week, where all pupils have participated in structured work experience.
There has been art trips, cookery classes, pizza nights, driver theory lessons, e-scooter classes, House Speeches (congratulations to the winner, Violeta Mykhalova), theatre trips, visiting speaker, charity fundraising and outdoor adventures in Causey Farm.
Over 50 of our TY pupils have signed up to participate in the Gaisce programme and others are hoping to participate in the Hope Foundations Kolkata immersion trip. Several pupils are taking ‘Early University Entrance’ courses at DCU on a range of topics including biology, physics, psychology, engineering and law. Others are participating in the DLR STEM course in Dun Laoghaire.
