Transition Year

Transition Year Programme

The Transition Year (TY) is an optional one-year programme that forms the first year of a three-year senior cycle in Borris College. Our experienced, dedicated and committed teaching staff have designed a course with the intent to act as a bridge between the Junior Cycle and Leaving Certificate programmes. Transition Year has a vocational emphasis where students gain the opportunity to participate in a Work Experience Programme. We are very grateful to businesses and employers in the local community and beyond who provide this opportunity to our students. Transition Year offers students an opportunity to develop and consolidate the skills they learned in the Junior Cycle and to prepare and mature through a range of participative activities, discussions, debates, and events.

Cost of Transition Year

The cost of families for is €280. This excludes the optional foreign trip which is offered to Transition Year students.
