Selskar College introduced Transtion Year in September 2024.
At Selskar College, Transition Year is part of a 3-year Senior Cycle, but it is separate from the Leaving Certificate programme. As a standalone programme within the senior cycle experience, the TY programme offers a unique opportunity, it supports students as they transition from the more dependent learning of the Junior Cycle to the more independent, self-directed learning of the Senior Cycle, to encourage students to thrive now and into the future.
To date, the programme has been an overwhelming success.
