Congratulations to all the members of the school bank, ‘Who Wants to be a Deelionaire?’ who were placed in the top ten at the recent Build-a-Bank competition in Sligo. Over the past number of weeks, the bank team have been encouraging members of staff and students to save money by lodging it in the school bank. Their hard work was recognised on Monday by the judges from AIB.
Enrolment for next year’s first years took place on Tuesday, with a large turnout from parents. The incoming first years undertook their entrance tests on Thursday in the school and the school looks forward to welcoming the new students in September.
The first year students had a reward trip to Arena Seven on Tuesday. The reward was based on the attendance leagues, which have been running over the past number of weeks. A new league has started now and there will be another reward at Easter.
Our TY group were given a very interesting presentation on Wednesday in the school library. The presentation was given by the LYIT Design and Media Department. This presentation showed students what courses are on offer within this department at the Institute.
All 5th year students were taken to a very interesting careers fair in Jackson’s Hotel on Thursday afternoon. The students got to talk to people from various industries and were able to find out first-hand what their jobs were like and what courses were needed to gain access to these jobs.
Students from the JCSP classes in first, second and third year went to Dublin on Thursday morning for the Make-a-Book Exhibition. Each year members of the JCSP group design a book and it is then exhibited in Dublin along with books from across the country. Last year, Deele College submitted an entry based on Donegal’s quest for Sam Maguire and we wait anxiously to see what this year’s group can offer.
