Attached are some photos from yesterday’s College Fair, which was held in the Sports Hall.
Students from 6th Year, 5th Year, Transition Year, 3rd Year and 2nd Year were invited to attend throughout the afternoon. Parents were also very welcome to visit the fair, meet representatives from a wide range of colleges and institutions, and enjoy a tea or coffee while exploring the different stands.
We were delighted to welcome representatives from 21 colleges and organisations, including DCU, UCD, Maynooth University, University of Galway, Technological University Dublin (TUD), the National College of Art and Design (NCAD), the Institute of Art, Design and Technology (IADT), Dublin Business School (DBS), Griffith College, The Lir Academy, and a number of further education colleges such as Ballsbridge College, BIFE, Blackrock Further Education Institute, Dundrum College of Further Education, Dún Laoghaire Further Education Institute and Stillorgan College. Students also had the opportunity to speak with representatives from professional organisations including the Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland and the Society of Auditors.
The event was a great success, with highly positive feedback from the colleges, parents and students alike. It provided a valuable opportunity for students to learn more about future study options, ask questions directly to college representatives, and begin thinking about the many pathways available to them after school.
Events like this require a great deal of planning and teamwork. A huge thank you goes to everyone who helped make the day run so smoothly, and especially to Ms O’Malley for her dedication, organisation and energy in coordinating such a successful event.
