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.
