Information for Students
As part of your Transition Year you will be asked to keep a portfolio of your work.
The work in the portfolio should represent all subjects and activities during the year and is compiled throughout the year on a regular basis. You will be asked to select twelve pieces for each interview during TY as per guidelines. This portfolio will give you an overview of the work you have done during your Transition Year. It will reflect how much you have improved in some areas and help you to see where your particular strengths and interests are. As well as highlighting effort and quality of work it will also help you identify areas of your school work where you might need to improve. It gives you an opportunity to discuss your overall work (not necessarily on a subject basis) with a teacher. This will help you to be able to make judgements about your own performance and become more independent and mature in your learning.
Samples of what might be included:-
1. Evidence of work:-
Poems.
Essays.
Project folders.
Mini-company products.
CD/DVD (audio and/or video)
Maths or problem-solving exercises.
Objects made in art or any other practical
classes.
Reports of trips, exchanges, debates, musicals, plays and PE
activities (using photographs or other souvenirs where
appropriate).
2. A log of completed works:-
You will be asked to complete a log on the items you choose to include in the portfolio. You complete one of these for each
piece of work and include it in the portfolio.
3. Results of tests and certificates of courses completed can also be included:-
