Senior Irish Debating

Well done to the Senior Irish Debating Team who competed in the Comórtas Uí Phiarsaigh debating competition for English-medium schools, in St. Wolstan’s Community School, Celbridge. The competition is run by Gael Linn and aims to promote to use of the Irish language with a focus on relevant and topical issues. The team consisting of Luke Mulvihill, Cillian O’ Brien and Joseph Ryan argued in favour of the motion:

 

‘Ba cheart go mbeadh smacht iomlán ag tuismitheoirí ar mheáin shóisialta a bpáistí faoi ocht mbliana déag’ (Parents should have full control over the social media of their children under 18 years of age)

 

The standard of Irish displayed was phenomenal and the team performed very well against  St. Wolstan’s Community School Celbridge, Scoil Mhuire Trim and Newbridge College. Unfortunately they narrowly missed out on a place in the next round. The team put on an excellent display of Irish and debated to a very high level.

 

Maith sibh!

Transition Year Work Experience Information

A reminder that all Transition Year students start work experience next Monday 13th November.

I have created a website which allows for quick access to any links, forms or documents that are relevant to Transition Year. The forms for work experience are included.

This site can be accessed here

I will update this during the year.

All relevant documentation (Insurance, letters to the employer) are also available in students Google Classrooms.

All students must complete a project based on their work experience. The template for this project is available in their Tutorials Google Classroom under the 'Work Experience' section.

The project template can be viewed here

It is a good idea to for all students to continuously prepare for their Christmas Portfolio Assessment by updating their digital portfolios. There are only 3 weeks of school after work experience finishes to prepare for this assessment.

Regards,
