This week, November 23rd - 27th, College Awareness Week takes place in St Joseph’s. College Awareness Week promotes the benefits of going to college and helps students to become college ready. It is a fantastic opportunity to begin the conversation with our students about going to college and helps them to realise that having a post secondary school plan is really important and necessary.
This week we have lots of virtual talks taking place from Universities, Colleges and past pupils. We have virtual guest speakers and talks from third level Education Institutions that have welcomed our 6th year students in the past, including DCU, Maynooth University, UCD, TUD and NCI. We also have arranged Community Mentoring programmes for TY’s, Workshops with Fujitsu and activities and lessons have been organised for all year groups in the school which will take place in their classes.
College Awareness Week has always been a very successful, beneficial and fun week in St Joseph’s and this year will be no different.
