CIF Design Challenge 2020

Well done to student Aaron Killick who was awarded a certificate and prize for his participation in the CIF Design Challenge 2020 “A Home for Everyone”. Aaron designed his building to a very specific brief which demanded simplicity, sustainability, accessibility and affordability. Aaron submitted a construction brief, a bubble diagram, a series of drawings conveying the final proposal, a digital scale model and a written project report. Well done Aaron!

LIFT Programme

The LIFT Programme (Leading Ireland’s Future Together) originally started in October with two groups if TY students under the supervision of Ms. Doyle. They learned about different characteristics a leader has and how they can work on becoming successful leaders themselves. After arriving back from Easter break, they got the chance to act as facilitators to small groups of second year students. They taught them one aspect of leadership in the hopes that they would use the experience to become better leaders in the future. The students enjoyed the programme as they learned new skills and got to know the junior students. Well done to all involved and to Rebecca for the report.
