Adele's TY BlogMy name is Adele O' Reilly and I am a transition year student in St.Gerards School. Throughout the year I will be posting various photos and blog about the different tasks and trips I do, hope you enjoy!
First Thoughts on Transition YearMy first day of transition year was September 30th. We spent the whole day getting a talk from our year head and the other teachers involved in transition year.
They went through every aspect of the year, and how we could involve ourselves in as much as possible. They informed us about the excurricular activities we could get involve in, I decided on scuba diving, boxing, first aid course and public access to law. They also told us about gaisce (president's award) which they thought was very important to do. For gaisce we must do 13 weeks of community service, personal skill and physical recreation. We then have to do another 13 weeks of either of them. Gaisce also says you must spent two days and a night away. We complete this anyway, while we go camping after results. We were informed about the various trips we go on during the year and either the Camino or french exchange that we choose to go on in June. other things we were told about was YSI, community service and work experience. Over all I think transition will be a really fun and enjoyable experience and I hope to learn a lot from it. |
