Our third year students took part in a Study Skills Workshop on Thursday, where they were given advice on study timetables and different techniques for studying. This will be a great help to the students as they prepare for their Junior Cert exams.

Dylan Downey, a 6^th year student here in the school attended a very important meeting during the week in Sligo, where he represented the Loft Youth Project at a conference entitled, “Cycle against Suicide”. This was a great honour for both Dylan and the school and it is great to see young people like Dylan being proactive in an issue that is so prominent in today’s society.

The LCVP students at Deele College were visited by representatives from both St Vincent de Paul and the Donegal Hospice this week, as they handed over donations raised from the recent ‘soccer blitz’ in the school. Each charity received €350 and great credit must be given to all the students involved.

Our TY students had a very interesting talk on Monday morning when two key speakers from the Donegal Creameries came to the school. The talk was part of the ‘Day in the Life Programme’; where students find out what it’s like to work in different areas. The continued links between the Business Department and the Donegal Creameries is very beneficial to our budding entrepreneurs in the school.

The video, which showcases all that Deele College has to offer, featured the likes of World Champion Kick boxer Damien Duddy, Irish Boxing Champion Brett McGinty and a whole host of other students who have represented the school with distinction in recent years.
