2nd year English students had the opportunity to showcase their amazing work from the past few months with James O’Donnell through Creative clusters 🎭🧑‍🎨
Students were treated to some special storytelling from Liz Weir after all of their hard work on stage! 📖

Yesterday our Business Dept welcomed Elaine Sterio, owner operator of six Mc Donald branches in Ireland. Elaine’s presentation on the franchising model was excellent, filled with invaluable wisdom, practical advice, and a sprinkle of her enthusiasm!
Her achievements serve as a beacon of inspiration for us all, showcasing the endless possibilities that wait for those who dare to dream big and work tirelessly to turn those dreams into reality. We are immensely grateful for the opportunity to learn from someone as accomplished and inspiring 🤩

We are looking anyone aged between 12 -17years to come and have your say on what you would like to see happening in the Library and what you would like to see on the shelves. Join us on Tuesday the 16th of April, 4pm for an informal chat. You don't have to book just pop in and enjoy a tasty treat or two while having your say.
