Welcome to our blog about the Transition Year in St Wolstans Community School, Celbridge, Co Kildare. Here you will read all about what happens in Transition Year. You will get a good idea of how busy our year is! Follow individual student blogs as well and see how they are getting on. All contributions come from the students themselves and the TY Coordinator. Enjoy
The RTY team interviewed Pat Mc Neeley of Bayside Services when he came to the school today to deliver the Drive 4 Life road safety workshop. The workshop was sponsored by Kildare Road Safety officer Declan Keogh, who also came into the school to visit TY.
We are only experimenting with podcasting at the moment so bear with us. We have some help to improve our podcasts coming soon though!
Back to school after christmas and the TY's have been updating their blogs - just in time for the 3rd Years who will be checking the blogs in the process of deciding if they should do TY next year or not.
Read these blogs to find out what we've been up to since December:
This week both Shannon and Roisin recorded their blog posts via video. Shannon tells us about her Geography project and Roisin tells us about the Fun Walk last Friday.
Well done to both girls for taking the plunge and recording their news! All done and dusted in one IT class too. Here's hoping other TY's want to get into recording and using video.
Read more of Shannon's blog here, and Roisin's blog here. Why not pop over and leave them a comment?

There was lots of giggling today and many takes to record our news. Thanks to Abbie and Muireann for staying serious long enough to make this news report!
Thanks to Aoife and Saoirse for being this weeks News Readers and to Courtney for help with the recording. Isabelle and Orla wrote the script before mid term but they never got to record it so we adapted the script today :)
This is our first attempt at our TY News programmes. Through trial and error we will surely get better! Maybe next time we will add a bit of background music and we can work on the background screen too!!
Thanks to Rebecca and Aoibheann for being our first newscasters.
