Some highlights from the final week of December 2021

The Lir Academy tour was led by technical students currently studying in Lir where topics covered included construction, technical, costume, scenic & props.

The final week of December saw First Aid courses, community cleanups, hikes to the summit of Howth Hill, visits to Dublin Zoo & a pilot workshop "What Does He Need?"


The What Does He Need? audio piece tells the story of a fictional boy from the day of his birth to early adulthood. Throughout his young life, the boy is confronted by a series of situations, weaving between themes of empathy, power, the suppression of vulnerability, violence, mental health, pornography and suicide. The audio piece is intended to explore societal expectations placed on boys and men, and how learned behaviours are perpetuated, particularly by the influence of other men.


This powerful audio piece is available to stream until 22nd January


This question:

"What does he need?"

will form the foundation of our work with The 'Architectural Technologists in Schools' initiative below.

 

The Architectural Technologists in Schools

This programme will be complementary to many Senior Cycle subjects, including Art, Maths, Sciences, Design and Communication Graphics, Construction Studies, Home Economics, English, History and Geography.


St Michael's College is one of five schools nationwide in to be working on this pilot initiative in 2022.


The 'Architectural Technologists in Schools' initiative provides Transition Year students with first-hand experience of the technical design process for buildings, spaces, and places, guided by professional architectural technologists.

Students will learn how to research, design, and communicate architectural ideas through workshops, excursions, drawing, model-making, photography and more. They will also be exposed to themes of shelter, human thermal comfort, ecological sustainability, experimentation and testing, and controlling the forces of climate through building design.
