Crumlins 2014 Graduates Return
To ‘Get Connected’.
Nine of our former students graduated the Level 4 Full Award in July
2015. Of these: two went on to full time employment; one plans to
go to night school; and the rest have gone on to various PLC courses
in a number of CDETB College. The broad range of progression routes
followed by our students is testament to the value of the Level 4 Major
Award in General Learning. Our students have progressed to courses
such as: Music Management (Ballyfermot) Security Studies (Crumlin
College), Business Administration (Rathmines), Game Design (Ballyfermot)
and Pre-University Law (Dunboyne).
Above you can see that they recently returned to the centre to participate
in a ‘Get Connected’ workshop that was designed to help students
make the most of their time in college, plan their budgets, develop
their study skills and gave tips on how to manage their time. The workshop
was delivered by Maurice Murphy who is employed by the Canals
Community Partnership. Maurice will continue to offer support and
guidance in the coming months should it be required and of course
they know they can return to Crumlin Youthreach as our staff team is
more than delighted to help out should they need it. We all wish them
the very best of luck.
Beekeeping Causing Quite A Buzzzzz In Crumlin!
Crumlin Youthreach has a new subject on the timetable this year and it's
causing quite a buzzzzz. Some students were nervous to start but majority
were quite happy to try QQI L5 Beekeeping. Students spent time on the
summer programme researching designs for- and helping to building
hives in the woodwork room and for the new apiary at the back of our
premises. The apiary itself is a joint venture between WALK (an organisation
that works with adults with intellectual disabilities), Scoil Colm
(the local Primary School) and ourselves here at Crumlin Youthreach. It's
a great way of bringing people together in a community project and of
course, it's good for the environment. In this photo you can see Conor
Quinn on the left and Stephen Byrne in the middle who is being helped
by fellow student Lee Mulraney and teacher Dave Mulvaney who is overseeing
them as they get 'suited and booted' for their first trip to the Apiary.
No students, teachers or wildlife were harmed in this photo-shoot!!
