Transition Year
St. Colmcille's Community School
Covid 19 Restrictions
This year is certainly a year out of the normal for our T.Y students. Fortunately, the easing of Covid-19 restrictions in October allowed for even more activities and experiences to enhance our T.Y. We are making sure to keep within government guidelines as per usual when we are on Community Care, Outdoor Pursuits or Work Experience by social distancing and always wearing our masks.
Outdoor Pursuits
This year our Outdoor Pursuits have been amazing! Even though we must apply with covid measures, our teachers have worked very hard to allow us to do many activities, such as; kayaking, go-karting, Zip-it, rock-climbing, horse Riding, foot-golf and a visit to Croke Park. The experiences have been great with hopefully many more still to come.
Community Care
We have had a great start to our community care in T.Y. Some students have placements in local charity shops while many are opting to help out their grandparents. This year a few students also have the opportunity to work with the Knocklyon Network to improve our area.
Work Experience
This year, due to the easing of Covid-19 restrictions, most people managed to get work experience. For those few people who didn't, our Ty coordinator Ms. Walsh found ways to they kept busy around the school.
