FEBRUARY CAREER NEWS!!
All the sixth years have completed their CAO forms and are now in the middle of their mock exams. It was lovely to see students attending interviews for Colleges and getting organised for next year. Students have been researching courses and we recently held a number of career talks on specific career areas. We also went on a career trip to TU Tallaght to do a computing workshop. It was a worthwhile and enjoyable day.
The fifth years have just completed the right career for you test and will be getting these comprehensive booklets back after mid term. They are an invaluable tool sponsored by the Parents' Association. The booklets give detailed information on a student's values, interests, aptitudes, interests and career option. This will help the students to focus on their career direction. It is an invaluable piece of the jigsaw. Career research is a process and our students have set up qualifax accounts and are beginning to research courses and have set goals on the points that they are aiming for. Many of the fifth years are also doing the icares study and interest test.
TY CAREER WEEK starts on Monday 11th of February and we will be visiting UCD, TCD, DCU, NUI Maynooth and IADT. It will be a fun week and we have invited speakers in from additional Colleges.

CAREER FAIR...WELL DONE STUDENTS!
We just wanted to say a big well done to all our fourth, fifth and sixth years who attended the career fair on Monday night. You were all brilliant! Everyone was asking questions and collecting information. The Past Pupils were really impressed with all your questions. They are really kind to come in and give up their time and it was great to see you asking questions and finding out about their courses. The feedback from the Parents' Association was excellent. You were learning interview skills and improving your communication and getting tips on improving your Curriculum Vitaes. The students really benefited and enjoyed their interviews. Many thanks to all those who were involved. Trinity, UCD, DCU and NUI Maynooth attended. DIT, ITT, NCI and IADT also were there. All CAO Colleges around Dublin came and we also had three PLC Colleges and SOLAS. The Admission Officers were terribly impressed by the level of questioning and genuine interest that the students had. WELL DONE EVERYONE!

Subject Choice For First Years..
We were happy to meet up with the first years and chat about subject choice. It is important that the students do their research. All the first years have been lucky enough to do taster modules in the seven option subjects. This has meant that they have got the opportunity to learn more about the content of the subject and meet teachers to learn more about what the subject involves.
- MATERIALS TECHNOLOGY WOOD (WOODWORK)
- METALWORK
- TECHNICAL GRAPHICS
- MUSIC
- ART
- HOME ECONOMICS
- BUSINESS
Many students have picked up the information sheets from the First Year Head's office and the link to this information was posted up on google classroom.
Students have an information evening on Tuesday 16th October. The link for the information sheets is below in case you have not already accessed it.

GUIDANCE SCHEDULE
DATS testing with the fourth years will be held on October 4th.
Following this, one to one meetings will be set up for all the fourth year students. Results of the DATS are just one part of the jigsaw of information used to support students when choosing their Leaving Certificate subjects. Students will get a report showing the strongest areas and parents receive the actual scores in the post. We look at the subjects students enjoy, do well in and also the requirements for courses they may be interested in. Students get the opportunity to do taster modules in most subjects during transition year. We do the REACH online career program with our students and this helps our students to gain an insight into careers available as well as completing a variety of interest, personality and values tests. Work experience is the perfect opportunity to gain further insight into careers that they may be interested in.
CAREER FAIR AND MOCK INTERVIEW NIGHT FOR SENIOR STUDENTS TAKES PLACE ON MONDAY 26TH NOVEMBER.
The past pupils set up advice clinics to give information about the courses that they are doing. Many Colleges will attend and set up stands and be available for questions.The Parents' Association organise Mock Interviews for our senior students. This helps our students improve their interview skills which is really important if applying for jobs, UCAS, EUNICAS, PLCs or restricted entry courses.

Look up other College websites for additional evening
talks. Trinity College have information days on engineering, science and
computing. Career trips should be carried out during weekends and evenings.
Good luck with all your research. The more talks you
attend and career research you carry out, the better equipped you are to make
an educated decision about the career/ course you want to pursue!
Happy researching!
