WORK PLACEMENT
GROUPS 3 & 5
Work Placements are often the highlight of TY for any student. These placements aim to prepare TYs for the role of the working adult, giving them job experience.
This Activity Week marks the second Work Placement taking place throughout the year. It was each TY’s responsibility to organise these for themselves. All TYs taking Work Placement will take place from Monday - Friday.
Law
GROUP 1
Colm MacCarvill BL and Simon Matthews BL will introduce TYs to the fascinating world of the Irish legal system. On the first day of the course, students will be thought the basic criminal principles of Murder, Manslaughter, Rape, Drug offences, Assault, Property Offences and petty offences. For the remainder of the week the students will attend the Criminal Courts of Justice. The students will be finished in time to return to the school (or home) by 3:30pm. It is recommended students have a good breakfast, as there will be no ‘little break’ prior to lunch (around 1 o’clock). Please dress as if attending for work experience i.e. Shoes, trousers & shirts/jumper. ( No Runners or Hoodies.) All details (TIMES, ADDRESS & ACTIVITIES) relating to the week can be found HERE.
COOKERY
GROUP 2
This is an opportunity for TYs to be introduced to hands on cooking, basic knife skills and kitchen hygiene and safety. Instructor Avril Murphy of Fumbally Cafe, Blas Cafe, Industry Design and The Good Food Store to name just a few will teach the class. Each day of the course culminates in a full sit-down lunch, when students get a chance to appreciate their own cooking. This activity takes place in the school Pavilion. TYs are not expected to wear their uniform. Monday's class will start at 10am and TYs will be informed on start times for the rest of the week by Avril. Please note that in the interests of health & safety, a student who is deemed by their instructor to be of any risk to themselves or to others will be asked to leave the class without question. They will not be guaranteed reentry. A SAMPLE menu for the week can be found HERE
