Transition Year

Darkness Into Light collections started today thanks to the hard work of Ms O’Shea and the TY volunteers. We would love you to join us this Saturday morning at 4.45am as we walk from St Als into the dawn to help raise funds for this very worthwhile cause. #DIL #pietahouse

Congrats once again to our two TY winners who collected their prizes today in the Department of Education in Dublin. Ms McGlade looks suitably proud! Well done to you both 🥳

The TYs had an absolute ball today with Robbie, owner of Cafe Move Cork, who joined us today to help us all get moving and stay healthy 💃🏻Great to see so many smiling faces at the end of a great workshop. Looking forward to doing it again soon!

So proud to have two of our TYs in the winners group! Well done to all winners and thank you so much @CareersPortal for continuing to run such a great competition.

MASSIVE congrats to Elisa who placed 2nd and Ananya who got Commended in the TY category for written entries in the ⁦@CareersPortal⁩ Career Skills competition. We are so proud to be the only school in Cork under this category, and celebrating two of our fabulous TYs! 🥳👍👏

Another fantastic presentation today from Juliette @BreastCancerIre to our TY and 5th Years. Be sure to download the Breast Check app to your phones and stay breast aware. #MakeTime2Check every month and stay well 🫶

Just a few of the many TY students who turned up (in not very pleasant weather) to collect for Share today in Cork City. Well done everyone involved for supporting this great cause.

We had a great day with @italian_ucc for the Taste of Italian Christmas event. Thanks so much to all in the department and the wonderful PhD students for organising it. Buon Natale to everyone! 🎅🧑‍🎄🎄⛄️

The TY German class enjoyed their visit to the Everyman today with their teacher Ms Dempsey for the annual film festival. Another great selection from @CorkFilmFest this year 👏

It’s nothing short of miraculous that the sun showed itself during the TY outing to Zipit today! A MASSIVE thank you to Mr Bergin, Mr Lee, and class teacher Ms O’Donovan, who all braved the elements to make sure everyone had a fantastic day. 🤛☔️🌤

Fridays collections amounted to €2005 across the city. Well done everyone involved 👏

Many thanks to Charlie and everyone @HopeFoundation for including us in your fundraising campaign again this year. Our TYs raised €640 during their time selling some very tempting @ButlersChocs on the streets of Cork. #WeekofHOPE #genderequality

Our amazing TYs were blessed with another sunny day today to collect for St Vincent de Paul, a charity that has always had strong links over the years with St Als. Great to be back out there collecting for them after the last few years of restrictions. #CommunityEngagement 🫶

Congratulations to @corkcitylibrary on your award! Having so many local partners working towards LGBTQ+ inclusion is an inspiration to us all as we continue on with our own work with @Belong_To to attain their Quality Mark for our school. Well done 👏👏👏🏳️‍🌈

Many thanks to Charlie and the gang @HopeFoundation for including us in your fundraising campaign again this year. The students had a great day selling chocolate to the people of Cork who were all out enjoying the sun ☀️

Ms Dempsey’s TY class enjoyed catching up with their classmate over video call this morning, who is in Germany on an exchange programme. It reminds us what great opportunities are open to students in this year, so much room for growth and new experiences. #SchoolLife #Goals

Thank you so much to Avril and Lauren ⁦@TrendMicro⁩ for a great day learning how to facilitate the Cyber Academy. We can’t wait to get out into our local primary schools to start delivering this excellent programme. #besafeonline #webwise #cybersecurity
