TRANSITION YEAR

The aims of the Transition Year are as follows -

to provide education for maturity with emphasis on social awareness and increased social competence
to promote general technical and academic skills with an emphasis on interdisciplinary and self-directed learning
to provide education through experience of adult and working life as a basis for personal development.

Our students are involved in outside activities which create a greater awareness of the community and workplace. The course presents young people with the opportunities for personal and social development through involvement in such areas as public speaking, film studies, adventure trips, cooking and so on. The year also allows students to take a break from the pressures of the exam-related curricula, to become responsible young adults and to make well-informed decisions.
