First Year Student Successful in 'Graphics' Good Design in Everyday Life' Exhibition

We had a First Year student successful in having their 'Graphics' Good Design in Everyday Life' Exhibition.

Only 20-30 students nationwide work will be displayed on a virtual Exhibition (Due to Covid). 

Our very own B. Kelly (1 Willville) was successful this year, making it two year's in a row one of our student's have been successful; following on from Maia Davidson last year.

Her design was based on her love for music during the recent lockdown and incorporated her love for graphics into her design by drawing precisely her musical notebooks after topics were covered in class this year.

We in the Technology department are delighted for her and hope to continue this trend again next year.

Mark O'Driscoll speaks with TYs

A big thank you to Mark O’Driscoll who held a captivated audience with TY Oriel this week. Mark shared his career journey in the military. He spoke of opportunities within the army, overseas missions, duties of a soldier and words of wisdom that he wished had been shared with him as a young sixteen-year-old. Mark reminded us of how fortunate we are to live in Ireland and why it is important for us to appreciate our superior education, safety, health facilities and prosperity when he shared his stories of less well-off countries that he carried out his UN duties in.
