The Transition Year Programme within Grennan College provides a one year programme for transition between Junior and Senior Cycle. Moving from the more dependent learning of the Junior Cycle to the more independent self-directed learning required for the Senior Cycle.
The programme has four main aims:
- nurture the development of the student as a whole person by building on their previous experiences, through a curriculum designed by the school that is aligned to the TY Programme Statement
- create space and opportunities for meaningful, enjoyable learning experiences through which the key competencies of the student can be developed in the classroom and school, in the home and in their role as local, national and global citizens
- expand the student’s experience and awareness of diverse future pathways and nurture the student’s capacity to sustain their growth and development through a process of lifelong learning
- evolve continuously to support the learning and development of the student through a reflection and renewal process involving students, teachers, school leaders, parents and community partners
While not part of the Leaving Certificate programme, academic 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.
