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!! 12
Donegal Youthreach Holds First County Summer Games! On 30 June, all six of the centres in Co Donegal (Ballyshannon, Buncrana, Glengad, Gortahork, Letterkenny and Lifford) came together to hold our first annual summer games at Gartan OETC. We wanted to provide our learners with their own 'sports day'. Teams had to complete a variety of tasks which culminated in a raft building competition and race. The winners, based on their overall participation and attitude were Team Ballyshannon. We're looking forward to next year's games already! 13
