‘An té a chuireann san Earrach, bainfidh sé san Fhómhar’
‘He who sows in the Spring will reap in the Autumn’
Is bliain í an Idirbhliain atá dírithe ar dhaltaí atá tar éis Cúrsa na Sraithe Sóisearaigh a chur dóibh. Tabharfaidh an Idirbhliain deis do na daltaí seo fás, forbairt agus foghlaim saor ó shrianta scrúduithe poiblí, roimh dóibh tabhairt faoi chúrsa na hArdteiste. Ina theannta sin, cuirfear réimse leathan ábhar ar fáil a thabharfaidh dúshlán intleachtúil do na daltaí agus a dhéanfaidh a gcumais foghlama a shaibhriú.
Transition year is designed to cater for students who have just completed Junior Cycle. It will provide students with the opportunity to learn, mature and develop to their full potential free from the constraints of public examinations before they embark on further study for the Leaving Certificate. Furthermore, pupils will be availing of a wide spectrum of intellectually challenging subjects, which will enhance their learning experience.

Déanfaidh na daltaí staidéar ar fhiontar, gnó agus eacnamaíocht, leis an gcúrsa seo. Beidh orthu mionchomhlacht a bhunú agus plean gnó a dhéanamh. Beidh aonach mionchomhlachta roimh Oíche Shamhna, ag an Nollaig agus um Cháisc.
The students will study entrepreneurship, business and economics. They will set up a mini-company and draft a business plan. There will be a mini-company fair at Halloween, at Christmas and at Easter.
| Obair Charthanachta | 1 Seachtain | Deireadh Fómhair |
| Taithí Oibre 1 | Coicís | Feabhra |
| Taithí Oibre 2 | Coicís | Bealtaine |
Téann na daltaí amach ar Obair Charthanachta i Mí Dheireadh Fómhair agus ar Thaithí Oibre i Mí Feabhra agus i Mí Bealtaine. Is mó tairbhe a bhaintear as na deiseanna seo má lorgaíonn na daltaí post a bhfuil spéis acu féin ann. B’fhiú do na daltaí an taithí oibre a eagrú thar an Samhradh más féidir, mar bíonn sé deacair áit a chinntiú le linn na scoil bhliana. Beidh foirmeacha le líonadh i dtaobh na himeachtaí seo agus tá na tuismitheoirí freagrach as an áit a roghnaíonn an dalta a bheith oiriúnach don dalta. Beidh sé de dhualgas ag na daltaí na foirmeacha a bheith líonta in am.
| Charity Work | 1 Week | October |
| Work Experience | 2 Fortnight | February |
| Work Experience | 2 Weeks | May |
Students will complete one week of Charity Work in October and two weeks of Work Experience in February and in May. Students who gain a placement in a field of interest to them, get most benefit from the experience. Students should organise the Work Experience placements over the Summer if possible as it can be difficult to secure a placement during the school year. There will be forms to be signed for these events and parents are responsible to ensure that the placement is suitable for the student. it will be the responsibility of the students to have them completed on time.

San Idirbhliain bíonn deis ag na daltaí taisteal thar lear lena mbliainghrúpa. Go hiondúil tugtar rogha idir thuras sciála (san Iodáil no san Ostair) nó cuairt a thabhairt ar chathair éigin san Eoraip mar shampla Páras, Berlin nó Barcelona. Le cúpla bliain anuas, roghnaigh na daltaí an turas sciála. Rinneadar ranganna sciála ar feadh ceithre uaire chloig gach lá agus bhain siad an-taitneamh as an après ski sna tráthnónta freisin; ag snámh, ag imirt cluichí peile, tóinscátáil, scátáil oighir, siúlóid tóirse le seacláid the agus oíche píotsa. Tugann na turais seo deis do na daltaí tír nua a fheiceáil nó scileanna nua a fhoghlaim, cairdis a threisiú agus cuimhní a dhéanamh.
In Transition Year, students have the opportunity to travel abroad with their year group. Students usually get to choose between a ski trip (in Italy or Austria) or a visit to a city in Europe such as Paris, Berlin or Barcelona. In recent years, students have opted for the ski trip. They do ski lessons for four hours every day and also enjoy après ski in the evenings; swimming, playing football, bumboarding, ice skating, a hot chocolate torchlit walk and pizza night. These trips give students the opportunity to see a new country or learn new skills, strengthen friendships and make memories.

Rachaidh chuile dhalta faoi agallamh ag deireadh na bliana. Ní mhór dóibh labhairt faoi na rudaí a ghlac siad páirt iontu i rith na bliana agus aon rud breise a rinne siad le cur leis an mbliain. Beidh orthu trí thionscnamh atá déanta acu a thaispeáint agus a chur i láthair ag na hagallaimh seo.
Each student will have an interview at the end of the year. They will be asked to speak about their achievements during the year and their input into the year. They will also have to present and explain three projects they have completed.
Déanfaidh an Ceann Bliana measúnú rialta ar phoncúlacht agus ar thinreamh na ndaltaí i rith na bliana.
The Year Head will regularly assess punctuality and attendance of the students during the year.
Gearrfar táille €350 ar gach dalta Idirbhliana. Tá an táille seo riachtanach chun imeachtaí agus ábhair na bliana a mhaoiniú.
A fee of €350 is required for Transition Year. These fees are essential to finance activities throughout the year.
