10 Tips for Starting Transition Year

1 Get Involved 

- transition year can be boring or interesting. The choice is on your hand. 

  

2 Organise Your Work Experience Early

-  Students all over the county will be looking for the best place to work and that’s why we should organise our work experience as soon as possible.

3 Develop Your Personal Skills & Hobbies

- As there’s not so much focus on traditional learning in transition year, you will find that you have more time for yourself than you did in third year. 

- Use this extra time to perhaps go back to your local Taekwondo club or taking up learning piano or guitar. 

4 Develop New Skills

- develop new skills (sports or computer coding)

7 Try To Do Well In All Aspects of Transition Year

- whatever school work, exams or projects you get, you should try to do your best in them.
