All fifth years have now met with Ms Kenny/ Ms Dowling Maher and
some are on their second/ third appointments. It is important that the
fifth years use all the information gathered on the career information day.
It is lovely to meet the students and see all the work that they are putting
into their career research. The open days for this year are generally finished.
Many fifth years have enrolled into the UCD Summer School.

This event is held in early June and students get the opportunity to learn more
about their chosen area during a day long seminar. The Career information
was a real success. It was great to see the students asking questions and
attending the lectures given by UCD, TCD, DIT, DCU, ITT and IADT/Dun
Laoghaire Senior College.

Fourth year career week was our first ever! Students got the opportunity
to attend TCD and UCD on two separate trips. They also got the opportunity
to attend lectures on DCU, DIT, ITT and a PLC College. Fourth years have
finished their career projects, completed the DATS, met me for feedback,
attended to modules of career guidance. Completed a variety of interest test
which will be kept on file and generally have put a lot of thought into their
subject choice. The options evening, taster subject modules and career
guidance presentations and support have hopefully aided the students to make
wise decisions around their subject choice.
