It’s been an active few weeks for our Transition Years both in school and out and about! Students have been immersed in our Life Skills & Expedition Skills modules learning skills such as woodworking and DIY, maintenance and surviving outdoors. Students also took part in a cookery class at Howth Castle Cookery School creating Italian and French cuisine. Sailing and Surfing classes have continued and our students have participated in City Culture Trips visiting the National Gallery in Dublin.

We were treated to a very informative workshop on Barbering as a career by past student and Barber, Gareth Moriarty with a few students getting a cool new cut! Our Barista courses are in full swing for students and Our TY Enterprise Programme is up and running. We look forward to seeing the innovative ideas and business ventures from students in the months to come.

We had a very insightful and informative talk this morning on gambling awareness and addictive behaviours from Tony O’Reilly. The students were fascinated by Tony’s own experiences and his insight into recognising addictive behaviours and triggers!
