Trip to Facebook

Digital Champions 2020.jpg

On Wednesday the 26th three of our TY students who are on our Digital Champions Team were invited to Facebook in Grand Canal Square in Dublin for a very informative talk on the operations of the company who also own Instagram and Whats app. They got a great insight into the different jobs they have to offer. They also were taken on a tour of the building, which was very interesting. They had a great day. Thank you to Ms Donohue for accompanying Abbey Corrigan, Katie Brogan and Cormac McDonagh who acted as great ambassadors for our School.

On the 25th,26th and 27th of February our TY students helped the 4th 5th and 6th class students of 12 primary schools from around Longford with the School Hall Athletics event which was led by Brendan Doyle.

Thank you to Sports Partnership Longford, Brendon Doyle and our TY students.
