Skipper of the Vigilant, Marc Gallagher, was delighted to have St Catherines transition year student, Matthew Curran, out on a blue whiting trip this week for his work experience. Great to see the next generation taking an interest in the industry.

Thank you to every single person who made this #TransitionYear #WorkExperience week with our NEIC (North East Inner City) Dublin teens in PwC Ireland happen.

We had 30 students from O’Connells, Larkin, St. Joseph’s, Marino and Rosmini bring their effervescence, talent and emotional intelligence!

Ireland’s big school secret: how a year off-curriculum changes teenage lives The transition year led Paul Mescal and Cillian Murphy to become actors – and has had similarly seismic effects on thousands of secondary school students. Should other countries follow suit?

I knew nothing about this. Trials started after I'd already left school and by the time it was rolled out, I'd left the country. Looks a great idea. It might help lots of kids stay on after third year, who would otherwise leave. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle... #Irish #Education #TransitionYear
