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.
