TRANSITION YEAR
Transition Year in Chanel College is an academic, social and very fulfilling experience.
​
Combining preparation for Leaving Cert alongside the working world, students embark on a year long adventure.
​
All you need to join us in Transition Year is a good attitude, a willingness to try all kinds of games and activities, some energy and lots of team spirit.

The highlight of Transition Year is undoubtedly the TY Musical and in 2024 we were delighted to run a hugely successful High School Musical with St Mary's Holy Faith, Killester.
At the end of Transition Year, we run a TY Graduation and awards ceremony to recognise our remarkable TY students and all their fantastic achievements through out the year.
