TY Develop Me Project

​Transition Year has had a very successful start in St. Aidan’s. At the beginning of the term 80 students participated in an Induction programme which included a team building day in school with the ‘Develop Me’ project, delivered by Gerard O’Shea, David O’Shea and Owen O’Brien of ‘Develop Me’.
 As per the Transition Year guidelines for schools, Transition Year “provides a bridge to help students make the transition from a highly-structured environment to one where they will take greater responsibility for their own learning and decision making”.
During this project the TY students participated in learning strategies which were active and experiential, and which helped them to develop a range of transferable critical thinking and creative problem-solving skills which they will carry forward into the senior cycle.
Throughout the day the TY students participated in two main workshops, The Search for the Lost Dutchman’s Gold Mine, which was a quest designed to develop an understanding of the key components of project management and personal performance, and secondly Solving the Problem of Tom’s Canyon Ford, a challenge designed to develop a deep understanding of the key behaviours of successful teams and the principle dysfunctions that inhibit team performance.
As can be seen from the accompanying images this certainly was a fun-filled, active and highly informative day for all the TY’s in St. Aidan’s.
