Transition Year is a time for participation in all subject areas – again this gives students the time to re-assess their aptitudes before facing the terribly important subject choices for Leaving Certificate. Due to the current Covid-19 School closure, students wishing to participate in TY should submit their application via an online application process.

Leaving Certificate Vocational Programme is compulsory for all Senior Cycle students.

Subject choices for the Leaving Certificate are made at the end of Transition Year (or Third Year for those students who do not opt for TY). Choices made at this stage are informed and well thought out. Subjects are timetabled only if there is sufficient demand. Subject choices are completed online through VSware. Parents should log in here and submit subject choices no later than 4pm on Friday, April 3rd 2020. Notes from the video conference presentation on Tuesday, March 31st are available here

The majority of our students attend Third Level, while others choose apprenticeships or work placement.
