Dear Parent/Guardian
As TY coordinator I am speaking to the 3rd Year students this week regarding the Transition Year Programme. It is one of three main paths that 3rd years can follow now after their Junior Certificate Year. The slide presentation has been uploaded to their google classroom so they can refer to it again before they make their final decision. I am posting a link below to the recorded TY presentation we did for 3rd year parents previously during lock down as I thought this might be beneficial. There are references to covid and no junior certificate exams which is thankfully irrelevant now, however the structure and benefits of the programme are explained in detail and this has not changed. Please encourage your child to consider choosing the TY programme, as the benefits of the extra year in school and the the maturity, independence and experiences they will gain, is so valuable for their leaving certificate and their future careers.
Feel free to email me at katrina.mcgonagle@scoilmhuirebuncrana.ie if you have any questions. Thanks for taking the time to listen to the presentation.
