TRANSITION YEAR

Our Transition Year students have now completed a GAA Coaching course within the school.  They are now competent to coach teams now, having worked under the stewardship of Mr. Colm Gaskin.  The students undertook work experience under his direction in the local primary schools.

The students are now in training to become GAA referees.  They are partaking in the Young Whistles Referee Course, a course which is a great team-building experience for all involved.
