Transition year is compulsory in Lucan Community College unless students progress directly to LCA. It provides an opportunity for students to experience a wide range of educational activities, community involvement, and work experience as a remove from the examination focus.
This is a unique one-year programme for students. It provides a bridge to enable students to make the transition from junior to senior cycle. It encourages personal and social development and recognises the needs for students to grow in independence. Transition year fosters academic achievement as students prepare for a Leaving Certificate programme, further study, adult and working life. It encourages the development of a wide range of transferable critical thinking and creative problem-solving skills.
