Transition Year - 2025-2026:
We look forward to working with the students selected to be part of the St. Farnan's Post Primary School TY programme for the academic year 2025-2026 and we hope that they have a fruitful and enjoyable experience in Transition Year.
This is our largest ever cohort for TY and much planning and preparation has gone into the programme for the coming year. We hope that the initiatives and ideas will be popular with the students and that the structures will ensure that all the students enjoy the programme and that each of them reaches new goals, learns new skills and makes new friends throughout the year.
Please check in with this page and the school's Facebook to keep abreast of their busy programme and their progress throughout the year.
Ms. Flanagan.
