Transition Year

Transition Year is a one-year optional programme.  It provides a bridge to enable students make the transition from Junior to Senior cycle. 

It encourages personal, social development and fosters academic achievement. Dungarvan CBS devises our own timetabled programme to cater for the needs of its students.  Our programme offers students a broad and balanced curriculum and provides the opportunity to try out new subjects from Senior Cycle. 

Subjects include Journalism, Photography, Public speaking, Cultural Activities, Heritage Studies, Art, Film Studies, Gaelic Studies, Engineering, Enterprise Education, Mathematical Methods, Career Guidance, Chemistry, Social Studies, Music, Speech & Drama, Graphics, Business Management, Religious Education and Agriculture.

Our 2025/2026 Transition year students are currently gearing up and starting to pack for their week long TY Tour to Beijing, China! This trip was a request of theirs which we at CBS Dungarvan have worked hard to make happen.
