Bray & North Wicklow Youthreach<br />

Graduation 2015<br />

Bray & North Wicklow Youthreach held their graduation<br />

ceremony in June for all students who completed the two year<br />

programme and achieved their QQI (FETAC) Level 4 Certificate.<br />

The singing group opened the ceremony with a beautiful<br />

performance. Michelle Keating (acting co-ordinator) spoke to<br />

all in attendance and reassured all students that the door will<br />

always be open for advice and guidance as they head out into<br />

this next part of their lives. Student, Ciara Butler was the star<br />

on the day as she received the “Student of the year award”.<br />

This was awarded to Ciara for her commitment, enthusiasm,<br />

and eagerness to learn and for always giving a helping hand in<br />

the centre. The ceremony closed with a photo slideshow of all<br />

the memories and experiences that each and every individual<br />

student contributed to the centre. Light refreshments were<br />

provided before students, staff, family and friends sat down to a<br />

three course meal, beautifully prepared and cooked by the staff<br />

and students themselves. A lot of time and effort went into every<br />

last detail for the event, from decorating the room right through<br />

to the staff waiting on students and their families; something<br />

the students really got a kick out of. All of the students looked<br />

fantastic in their graduation gowns and all of the staff team in<br />

Bray & North Wicklow Youthreach are very proud of the young<br />

adults they have become. The journey wasn’t easy but it was<br />

worth it.<br />

Busy Summer Programme in<br />

Buncrana & Glengad!<br />

The Buncrana and Glengad Youthreach centres in Inishowen, Co Donegal had a<br />

very busy and successful summer programme this year. The photos give a small<br />

flavour of what they got up to including MUSO (previously known as Songcraft)<br />

working with the learners to create their own song, having an environmental<br />

clean up in their area, holding their annual open day which included learners<br />

receiving a range of awards, hosting a barbecue in the Glengad centre for special<br />

needs students from the Little Angels school and promoting Youthreach at the<br />

annual Inishowen Agricultural Show.<br />
