Achievements 2022 / 2023
On October 13th the Parents’ Council held their career fair for the TY, 5th and 6th year students along with their parents and guardians. Unfortunately our 2020 fair was cancelled and we waited four years to host this event. In attendance we had 17 third level institutes and approximately 70 professionals. We had such a broad spectrum of professions represented on the evening and we had in attendance Trinity College, University College Dublin, Dublin City University, Dunlalk Institute of Technology, Drogheda Institute of Further Education and more.
The feedback received on the evening was extremely positive. The overriding response was how bright, interested, articulate and positive the students were.
The next career fair is planned for 2024.
