The Path of Life
Congratulations to Róisín Boland O’Brien and Caoimhe Collins, both Transition Year, who came second in the National Immigrant Council of Ireland’s creative competition for their poem and graphics entitled ‘The Path of Life’. Pictured are some members of the Inclusion Committee (who weren’t camera shy!) presenting the prize to Róisín today.

LCA Trip:
The two LCA classes, accompanied by Ms. Byrne from Home Economics and Mr. Lacey, enjoyed an educational trip to the World of Illusion. Students had the opportunity to explore interactive exhibits and take part in a range of activities designed to spark curiosity and creativity. After the visit, the group spent some time shopping, which allowed everyone to relax and enjoy the remainder of the day together. Overall, it was a very positive experience that combined learning with fun.
