5th Year Study Skills.

All 5th year students attended a study skills workshop on Friday afternoon. There were many helpful tips and methods given to the girls to improve their learning skills and techniques. Past pupils, Alisha Downey, Éabha McLoughlin and Caoimhe Young spoke to the students on successful study techniques. It was a great opportunity for the students to get first hand information from past students who had achieved fantastic results in the Leaving Certificate. Many thanks to Mr. Cox, Ms. Costigan and Ms. O’Brien for facilitating the workshop.
