We would like to say a huge thank you to Knightsbrook Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort for welcoming our Tourism, Airline and Office Administration students this week. Students received a very beneficial talk from the team, with General Manager Oliver explaining the importance of each department within the hotel and how they work together to achieve excellent customer service and an enjoyable experience for all guests. The team went on to explain the skills required to work in this industry and also what kind of software packages are used, why they are used and how they interact with each other. Students were brought on a tour of the hotel where they were able to view everything from the presidential suit, to the spa and the leisure centre, meeting valuable members of staff along the way. Students are now well prepared for upcoming assignments which will be based around this experience. SOLAS (An tSeirbhís Oideachais Leanúnaigh agus Scileanna) #Beginheregoanywhere #ThisIsFET

𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗠𝗦𝗗 𝗜𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 Deputy Principals Emer Cloak and Catherine Fox, along with our Head of Science, Dr. Fiona Hoey, recently visited MSD Ireland's first Biologics Drug Substance Single Use Commercialisation Facility in Dunboyne, Co. Meath. They had the opportunity to tour the facility and engage with numerous employees, having insightful conversations with many of them. During their tour, they had the pleasure of meeting a former pupil, David Stana, who completed the Pre-University Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Science course at Dunboyne College in 2023. David is currently working on the apprenticeship program that MSD Ireland recruited for earlier this year. This was a wonderful opportunity to build valuable links with local businesses and to find out more about requirements in the industry.

We would like to thank Kara Murphy and Margaret Farrell for delivering continuous professional development on Lámh (a manual sign system) to teachers and learning hub assistants in Dunboyne College recently. Kara, a registered nurse in intellectual disability, and Margaret, a speech and language therapist, are both part of the 220 trained Lámh tutors working in Ireland. The training of module 1 was delivered in such a practical way that all involved walked away feeling confident that they could communicate complete sentences using the 100 signs practiced throughout the day. This training will help those involved to be more flexible and inclusive in their communication with students they work with in the future. #Beginheregoanywhere #ThisisFET #CPD
