Experience diversity, challenge and enjoyment
Transition Year
Transition Year
The Green calls Transition Year Students, to reach heights they never knew possible, to start the climb of opportunity, experience diversity, challenge and enjoyment. We encourage and help new students to rise to new challenges and to take new roads of experience. Students are exposed to a vast array of projects, subjects, modules and outings. They practise new methods of learning and are given opportunities to and communication skills.
We have cultivated a strong partnership and school cooperation programme with our colleagues at Presentation Secondary School. Our school cooperation programme incorporates both transition year and our senior cycle programme. This carefully planned cooperation programme with our neighbouring school has strengthened our capacity to provide educational experiences extending our curricular offerings within the areas of STEM and construction technologies.

Promoting Entrepreneurship
Over the past number of years students from The Green have participated and excelled in the Young Entrepreneur Programme and the County Enterprise Board Student Enterprise Awards Programme.
These programmes complement traditional learning by linking workshops, case studies and interaction with key business leaders along with the pupils own ideasz. For anyone thinking of starting
a business now or in the future this programme presents an ideal opportunity. The pupils unlock their own creativity, focus their inspiration and challenge themselves with confidence. The programme also partners students with business people & business mentors and provides a real business environment for students.
