Ms. Munroe’s second-year Business Studies class recently enjoyed an educational trip to Atlantic Technological University (ATU) Castlebar as part of the World of Work Programme. The visit proved to be a very insightful experience for all involved.

Throughout the day, students had the opportunity to explore the wide range of courses available at ATU and to speak with several lecturers and staff members about college life and future career pathways.

This gave them a valuable insight into further education and the many opportunities that may be available to them after secondary school.

The group also learned about ATU’s Green Campus initiatives and sustainability efforts. It was inspiring to see the work being done, and we hope to incorporate some of these ideas into our own Green Schools programme in Coláiste Pobail Acla.

A highlight of the visit for many students was the Nursing Department, where they greatly enjoyed meeting and speaking with Lecturer John Gately. His insights into the nursing profession and college life were particularly engaging and informative.

Overall, it was a highly enjoyable and worthwhile trip, and we would like to thank everyone at ATU Castlebar for making us feel so welcome.

Well done to past pupil, Fionn English, who was awarded an ATU Entrance Scholarship at the ATU campus recently.

The award recognises students who achieved over 550 CAO points in their Leaving Certificate.
Fionn, who is studying Mechanical Engineering, was one of eleven students from Mayo to receive the award.

Dr Orla Flynn, President of ATU, presented students with €500 and a handmade trophy designed by ATU Connemara graduate Eoin Kirwan.

Well done Fionn.
