The programme provides for the development of personal and social skills.  It encourages both activity based (doing projects) and self-directed learning both inside and outside the classroom. This is a year where the students are given the opportunity to study a wide range of subjects not on offer in the Leaving Cert.

Work experience, drama, art, mini-company, film studies and computer studies are among some of the subjects studied. In a Transition year programme you will take responsibility for your own learning.
