It is an online space where you can capture your learning progress and achievements throughout Transition Year.
  • Students will design and develop individual ePortfolios during the year.
  • During the year they will be expected to update their ePortfolio on a weekly basis at home.
  • Parents will have access to the ePortfolios and can see what your son has been doing during TY.
  • At the end of the year each student will be asked to present their ePortfolio in an interview and will be awarded a Certificate of Distinction, Merit or Pass.

What is Gaisce?
Gaisce or ‘great achievement’ is a self-development programme for young people between the ages of 15-25 and has been in existence since 1985. The Awards initially flourished under the patronage of former President Patrick. J Hillery and to date and have been carried by incoming President’s. To date over 300,000 young people have participated in the Gaisce programme. At Gaisce our main aim is to ensure we have a programme which fits the needs of every young person who wishes to participate in the Gaisce programme and to give each participant the best possible opportunity to do so. We believe in the ability and resilience of young people and through the Gaisce programme we want them to nurture that ability and to realise their full potential.
Gaisce is driven and motivated to follow and adhere to core values set out by its staff and council members. We are committed to ensuring these core values are embedded across all areas of our work, and in our practice and processes.
