TY Subject Choice: Next month our Transition Year students will choose the subjects they wish to study for the Leaving Certificate. To help them in their decision making, students received a presentation by Ms Allen from our Guidance Department about subject choice, the Leaving Certificate and College Entry requirements. This was followed this week, by teachers giving online talks to the students about the Leaving Certificate subjects that are on offer in our school. An information video for parents by Ms Allen was made available on the school website for parents to view. Next week the Career Guidance department will meet remotely with each Transition Year student to discuss with them their subject choices and to offer them advice.
In-school tuition will resume for 6th years on Monday. We are very pleased that the school will be opened again and look forward to seeing them there!
Careers Talks Series: Our Parents' Association's very successful series of Career Talks continued with three more online talks for students on Wednesday. All of our students are encouraged to watch the talks and ask questions.
If anybody in our community would be interested in speaking about a career (online at a time that suits them) further details can be obtained from our Parents' Association at stjoeyspa@gmail.com
Pancake Competition: Our school's Wellbeing Committee organised a Pancake and Crepe making competition for students and staff over the midterm break. Students submitted an 'action' photo of themselves flipping their pancake and a photo of the finished product. Our Judge, Ms Regan, was blown away by the standard of the entries! Well done everyone who contributed and massive congratulations to our winners!
St. Joseph's Transition Year Students taking part in the Student Enterprise Competition are getting ready to pitch their products to the judges over the next few weeks. The TY Enterprise competitions will take place on March 12th and the girls are finalising their Booklets and products at the moment. We wish them all the very best!
