I hope you will have been following our activities online using our noticeboards and TY twitter account as usual.
There have been alot of activities on for TY students over the last few months. Class engagement was initially great but has started to drop off a bit over the last few weeks. I’m sure you are finding it just as challenging at home to keep them engaged and checking their work and we really appreciate all the motivating and cajoling on your end also!
All information and presentations are here on the school website: Options Information
So far, all students have engaged in lots of activities in person before Christmas and we hope to have many more once the schools are open for TYs after Easter. We have had many opportunities for the students while online also with our last group completing the filming module this week. All students have had the chance to engage with the online Poetry Slam workshop, Make Up Artist Tutorial, a Q&A with Neven Maguire and our LIVE cookalong with JP McMahon from Aniar restaurant is happening this week (details and ingredients link below in our noticeboard) Students will receive their TY hoody when we return to school.
Many students have used this tie to engage with online or virtual work experience opportunities run by some big firms e.g. engineering/colleges/Arup/DNG/RCSI etc. There is a work experience programme available for every interest, the child just has to find it! I have sourced a few and shared them on the noticeboard below if you want a starting point, engineers Ireland have especially good opportunities for students.
