Transition Year

Transition Year is an important part of a Blackrock College education and takes place in 4^th Year, the academic year after the Junior Certificate and before the Leaving Certificate Programme, which runs through 5^th Year and 6^th Year.

During Transition Year, students are encouraged to develop their knowledge and skills in a range of areas including community awareness, entrepreneurship, environmental awareness, social interaction, languages, computer skills and so on.

This is done through a range of activities, many of them charitable or community outreach in nature, including participation in the President’s Gaisce Award, the Goal/Aidlink St Patrick’s Day Badge project, Blackrock College Radio, Chinese Language Classes, ECDL, Dragon’s Den, the Green School Committee and many others.
