Role Model Career Evening
A Role Model Career Evening for students and parents of Coláiste Íde & Iosef took place in their school in Abbeyfeale last Thursday night the 11th of January. This was where past students voluntarily gave of their time and came into the school to share their post school course/career experience. There were thirteen different themed rooms with four students in each room with each panel member speaking for five minutes with five minutes at the end for questioning and each talk was repeated three times. This meant that the students got to go to three different talks and hear valuable information from twelve speakers. The different themed rooms ranged from Business to Medical to Science to Engineering to Apprenticeship to Social to Law to Agriculture etc., There were also stands from the Universities, Institute of Technologies and PLC College’s in the Munster area. The event was organised by the Guidance Counsellor Mary Quaid and supported by Management, teachers and staff and all reported what a worthwhile event it was and that it created a lovely atmosphere on the night.
Three students from 2nd year were selected to take part in this year's Young Scientist Competition in Dublin in early January. Their project looked at the amount of time spend online and whether this improved teenagers knowledge of internet safety. Here they are meeting Minister Patrick O Donovan.
