St. Joseph’s College Transition Year (TY)
Transition Year is a one-year optional programme. It provides a bridge to enable students make the transition from Junior to Senior cycle
When students have completed the Junior Cycle, they have the option to participate in Transition Year. Each student has the opportunity to develop their own skills, talents and to apply them diligently in a process of independent learning. TY encourages personal, social development and fosters academic achievement. Our programme offers students a broad and balanced curriculum and provides the opportunity to try out new subjects from Senior Cycle.

At St. Joseph’s College, sustainability is a core value that continues to grow and evolve. Our dedicated Sustainability Policy builds on the outstanding work of the Green Schools Committee, which has led numerous initiatives to raise awareness around key environmental issues such as water conservation, litter management, and noise pollution. These efforts have contributed to the achievement of several Green Flags, reflecting our commitment to creating a greener future.
A highlight of our sustainability journey is the school’s biodiversity and horticulture space, which serves as a living classroom. Here, Transition Year students engage in hands-on projects that promote environmental stewardship. One notable initiative involves recycling old timber to construct flower planters, enhancing the school’s natural environment while reinforcing the principles of reuse and sustainability. Through these projects and policies, St. Joseph’s College fosters a culture of environmental responsibility, empowering students to make a positive impact both within the school and in the wider community.
