During the transition journey, we will provide a series of events and opportunities for you and your child to find out more about the College. These include Open Day on 29 March, transition visits to the school, such as ‘CMC Discovery’ Days in May, Coolock Campus tours and exploring our virtual resources online, especially our exciting Virtual Open House website.

Throughout the transition process, we will endeavour to collect as much information as possible about your child’s learning and social needs, before they begin secondary school.
