TY Work experience

Last week our Transition Year students engaged in a week of work experience. A huge thank you to all employers and businesses who provided our students the opportunity to work in various places of work. Without you, our students would not receive such invaluable experience.

In November, We Remember

This month, as a school Community, we would like to remember all those belonging to you who have died. We have shared a link on our social media where you can add the name of a deceased loved one.If you would like your loved one included please add their name. We will add these names to our Remembrance Book and a mass will be offered for all our loved ones.
