Transition Year

The Transition Year at Newpark has been an established part of the Curriculum since 1975 and an integral part of the Senior Cycle provision since 1994. Marie Fitzpatrick is the programme co-ordinator for Transition Year in Newpark.

The success of Transition Year depends on the degree to which each student becomes involved in the process. The year best suits those who develop self motivation and have the ability to take the initiative and to make the most of the varied opportunities offered by the programme.

The Transition Year is divided into three modules, each of 8-9 weeks duration. After each module, students will engage in a series of activities outside the school such as job placements, outdoor pursuits, Arts Week, In Dublin Week and The Gaisce Awards.

Please see below for all necessary Transition Year forms . All students will have received one copy of each from their Form Teacher, but in the case of a misplaced form, the following are available for downloading and printing as required.
