Transition Year
The college introduced Transition Year in 1999. It is optional for students. Between 20 and 24 students are chosen to participate in the programme. In 2007 this number was risen to 40, such was the demand. It is a very different year to any other year in a student's education. All Third Year students are given a presentation in class around January. An information evening for parents and students is then normally held in February.
