Transition Year

Transition Year is a one year programme which provides a bridge to enable students make the transition from Junior to Senior Cycle. Here in Tarbert Comprehensive we have devised a programme which encourages the personal and social development of students. It also helps to prepare them for the Leaving Cert Programme , further study and adult and working life. Our Programme encourages the development of a wide range of skills and helps students become more confident, mature and independent.
