Course details
The Transition Year Programme within Grennan College provides a one year programme between Junior and Senior Cycle. It is designed to act as a bridge between the two by facilitating the smooth transition from the more dependant learning of the Junior Cycle to the more independent self-directed learning required for the Senior Cycle.The programme has three main aims:
- Education for maturity with emphasis on personal development, including social awareness and increased social competence.
- The promotion of general, technical and academic skills with an emphasis on interdisciplinary and self-directed learning.
- Education through experience of adult and working life as a basis for personal development and maturity.
While not part of the Leaving Certificate programme, academmic study in Transition Year is intended to lay a solid foundation for later studies, affording students an opportunity to experience subjects/modules in advance of making their subject choice for leaving Certificate.
