Transition Year 2020 / 2021 Programme – Expressions of interest

We have concocted a fantastic program for the 220/21 Transition Year (TY) students! It has been challenging to establish a TY programme whilst the current Covid Restrictions are in place as a result all dates, numbers and prices may be subject to change and cancellation depending on the  then current Covid Situation.
Please note that the TY Program can only run if supported by volunteer parents. We will be looking for your assistance throughout the year and you will also be asked to volunteer during individual course registration sign ups…

A summary of what we are planning to offer during the school year is PROVIDED HERE. Please study it carefully, then complete the Expression of Interest form by 10th July 2020 so we have an idea of our population.
