On behalf of the entire Transition Year team I would like to welcome you to Transition Year (TY) and to the official TY information portal.

Transition Year is a unique one-year program designed to bridge the gap between the Junior Cycle and the Leaving Certificate. It offers students space to mature, gain real-world workplace experience, explore new practical disciplines, and build essential life skills without the immediate pressure of state examinations.

On this site you will find information about our programme and useful documents and forms that you will need this year. I will be updating and adding to it regularly so please keep checking in. It has been created on a Google site as our TY students will be creating their own sites as part of their Digital Portfolio. 

I will also be sharing Newsletters on VSWARE so please keep an eye out for those. 

Wishing you a very successful year. I look forward to working with you.

Jessica Baker

Transition Year Coordinator
