The TY Radio Workshop is a one-day course from 10am to 4pm. It enables students to see all sides of radio and digital production in the ever-changing world of journalism. The outcome of the workshop is to produce a half-hour program which will be recorded and edited by the students themselves.
Congratulations to the following TY students who received their Certificates for the 1-Day Personal Survival Techniques Course. The course contained practical and theory sections including launching and entering a life raft in a designated pool. Included are actions to be taken by persons for self-protection in emergency situations, survival at sea and deployment of safety equipment.
TYA recently had their final taste-test session as part of their Catering Module. Over the course of the module, they had a brief introduction to catering with a focus towards safe and hygienic food preparation for prospective employment in the food industry. Students selected, prepared, cooked, served and evaluated a range of dishes and demonstrated a wide array of practical cookery and personal management skills.

Nine Transition Year students recently travelled to Greencastle Fisheries College where they learned survival at sea techniques. The students completed the certified course which taught them how to cope in an emergency situation at sea, how to correctly use the available safety equipment and also how to deploy and use a life raft. In William Street baths in Derry the students learned what it’s like to be in a life raft and how to right an overturned life raft. The course proved to be a big hit with all involved and provided the students with essential knowledge which could not only save their lives but the lives of those around them should they ever find themselves in an emergency situation on land or at sea.
Congratulations and Well Done to the five winners of our Christmas Card Competition:

Bobbles, Christmas jumpers, hot chocolate and wooden snowmen and 120 energetic and enthused TY's...what else could it be but the now traditional TY Christmas Craft Fayre. Friday 1st December saw a large throng of eager Christmas shoppers descend on The Aras where they were greeted by a gargantuan glittering display of all things Yuletide. It didn't take long for the various locally produced (CCS) products to disappear off the stands and into bags to make their way to decorate the homes of Inishowen. By the end of the school day stocks were clearly running low as was evident by the empty tables and perhaps more importantly by the look of sheer (Christmas) joy on the tired TY faces. Many people commented on not only the quality of the items but also on the quality of the sales teams and the almost electric atmosphere throughout the day.
Thanks to everyone who supported the TY Craft Fayre in any way and especially to our ever helpful caretakers. The day was a resounding success once again thanks to the efforts, perseverance and imagination of the TY students who were ably assisted by their Enterprise teachers...Elaine Mc Goldrick, Emma Doherty, Lynn Mc Gowan, Niall Havlin and Mary Harkin. Dragon's Den and The Apprentice wouldn't get a look in! Well done everyone!
