Transition Year
The Transition Year programme is an integral part of our secondary school.
We see this programme as an opportunity for our students to build on the academic achievements and the character development attained in Junior Cycle in order to prepare them for the Leaving Certificate and for their future role in society.
The Transition Year Programme benefits from continuous reviewing and updating.
Rosemont’s Coaching system continues in TY, supporting your daughter in maximising her potential through Rosemont’s Core Programme and Powerful Opportunities.
We encourage every girl to ‘personalise’ her TY, to jump in and start to discover new interests, skills, talents and passions!
