Interviews

It is impossible to get everyone together. If u have any questions please come and see me asap and I'll try and help you. Please be working away on your presentation. Only a couple of weeks left!!!

Gaisce please read

Students who are going on the Bronze Gaisce Adventure Challenge on Wednesday please read the following message carefully.

Time of departure: 11.20am so meet in the canteen after break. Be changed into your walking gear for the day and have a day-bag with you that MUST have rain gear, food, drink etc. 

Whatever you need for the hostel and walking thursday should go in your overnight bag as the bus will be dropping these to the hostel while we are walking. Bed linen is provided by the hostel but you will need your own towel.

The forecast for Wednesday and Thursday is damp and cold so make sure you have plenty of warm clothing and make sure you have rain gear, hat, gloves. The ground underfoot will be wet in places so old runners/boots that you dont mind getting dirty is advisable. Wellies are not advisable for walking and certainly wont suit wednesdays walking but some people wear them on thursdays walk as you will be in the Poison Glen.

Dinner on wednesday evening will be chicken curry/rice. If you dont like this feel free to take your own food, there is a fully equipped kitchen in the hostel. I will be getting you the necessary food for lunch on thursday and you will make up your lunch on thursday morning. 

There is a shop next door to the hostel so bring a small amount of money with you if you wish to go.

Anyone who did cooking/baking as a skill for their award is expected to bring some treats/goodies for wednesday evening to share around. 

The signed record sheets for the skill, community and physical activity MUST be handed in to me by next wednesday, may 3rd so I can apply for your medals in time for your graduation ceremony. If there is any problem with this or you have any queries regarding wednesday/thursday please email Mr Walsh tonight.

Monday 24 April 2017

Pe

Leave the school both days at 150. Please be changed and ready to go. Warm clothes. U will be outside.  Rain gear aswell. 5 euro as well. And if u owe from before easter get it paid. Thanks

PE this week

Both days - PE this week - we will leave the school

Details to follow - keep an eye on this please this evening!!

Renee Moore

Please see me for a msg asap - thanks

Very important - PLEASE READ - CPR

CPR for the next few days - a number of changes - please read - many thanks

Tues 25th - 910-1225 - N Oliver
1225-345 - N Orla

Wed 26th - 910-1225 - N Oisin
1225-345 - N Odhran

Thanks

However due to the fact that anyone in N Odhran (who are doing Gaisce will miss their session of CPR) - I have had to switch numbers around a bit - apologies for any inconvenience caused - there is no other way of doing this

It means that tomorrow Blathin Ahearne, Emma Burns, Rebecca Connolly, Molly Goss, Renee Moore and Sarah Sweeney (from N Odhran) will do their CPR at 910 tomorrow morning along with N Oliver.

This also means that I have to take 6 students out of N Oliver - as we are only allowed 20 students to do CPR at the one time - these students will join the N Odhran class from 910 until 1225 tomorrow and then rejoin their own class at 1225. These students are Ronan Boyce, Shaun Bryant, Shannon Byrne, Orlaigh Carr, John Joe Doherty and Olivia Hamilton. These 6 students will then do their CPR on Wednesday evening leaving the school at 1225 along with the N Odhran class (this will also mean that N Oliver will have a very small number on Wednesday afternoon - due to Gaisce and also these 6 at CPR)

N Oisin will complete their CPR on Wednesday morning as usual and we will then meet the bus in Letterkenny for anyone who is going on to Gaisce so make sure you have all your stuff with you. 

To all students - please make sure that you have lunch with you - you will have to eat this going up or coming down on the bus as we will not have time to stop. The groups going at 1225 - please be out and ready to go.On both days go straight to the bus after reg. Full school uniform to be worn. CPR is very educational and something everyone should have and therefore anyone on 4 strikes will be going to do it and then they will miss the next trip.

Hope that I have covered everything here

Thanks





Friday 7 April 2017

In the interview you will open your E - portfolio

Show us the box at the top with everything filled in by yourself - on the home page
Go through the 3 min presentation (which has been loaded) and then we will ask you questions for the remaining 2 mins - please point out any special or different things you have done throughout the year - you will be asked to show pieces from your portfolio and scrap book

Please note - you must have your Yellow sheet with you fully signed by teachers and parents/guardians 

This is your chance to show off what you have done throughout the year - be proud to do it as I know that you have loads done - please don't be afraid of this opportunity - this will hopefully be a positive experience for you and the teachers interviewing you - the interviews will be in groups (due to time constraints) - there will be at least 2 teachers interviewing you

Tell us everything - don't leave anything out - you have got 5 mins to tell us everything - do your best

Best of luck - I can't wait to see all your work



Presentation - what do i do???

Look at the Loreto Milford website and go to Programmes and then Transition Year. You will see some examples of videos. Please have a look at these. You can come up with your own format - whatever you choose - these videos are only as a guide.

TY Interview questions - Your presentation must be no more than 3 mins long - we will then ask you questions for the remaining 2 minutes - please see the video on the school website - under Programmes and then under TY for an example - this presentation is titled - 'My year in TY'

In your presentation - u need to answer at least 10 of these questions - this can be done in any format / in any way - I def want to see some videos, animations, things that are different - up to u to be creative!

There have been a few questions on this - just to clarify - this is the box that you have to include - u can add this into your e portfolio on the Home page - just copy and paste this box and then fill in your answers - thanks - hope this is clear now

FOR INTERVIEW - REMEMBER TO TAKE IN ANYTHING THAT U HAVE MADE OR CREATED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR - THE MORE VARIETY THE BETTER - THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO SHOW OFF ALL THAT YOU HAVE DONE THROUGHOUT THE YEAR

This relates to the Top box on the previous msg - the assessment sheet


This has got to be the first thing on your 3 minute presentation – u have to answer the following points honestly and truthfully – we will have all the information sitting in front of us so if there are any differences we will pull you up on it at the end of your presentation – now that would not be good!!

Please take note that your presentation can be no longer than 3 mins - we have to keep it fair for everyone so you will be cut off after the 3 mins is up - we do not want to do this so please make sure that it is no more than 3 mins!!


Good luck

Trips trips trips

I went around the classes two weeks ago - your aim as a class is to get this information to me asap. You have to come up with the best idea within each class. You have to price it and get the total price and it must be realistic. We will be aiming for sometime in March.

You have to decide on two or three members of your class to put your idea - REMEMBER ONE IDEA PER CLASS -  forward to me and to explain any queries that I may have.

YOUR IDEA MUST BE WELL RESEARCHED WITH ALL DETAILS COVERED - FOOD, BUS, ACTIVITIES ETC.

YOUR IDEA MUST BE GIVEN TO ME VIA EMAIL ONLY

The ball is in your court - IF YOUR IDEA IS NOT WITH ME BY FEB MID TERM THEN YOUR CLASS OPPORTUNITY IS GONE

SO GET RESEARCHING

Please work on this in road safety and in computers
Go to rsa.ie - free online resources and sample tests
No age limit on it - once you pass it you have 2 years to do your test - its something you can work on now and then this will help you in preparation for your test - its a great skill to have learned!!! you will gain marks at the end of the year for this!!

Remember you will also gain marks for extra things undertaken throughout the year - things that you were given an opportunity to get involved in - but it was up to you if you did so or not - things like Gaisce, Bank team, charity work - the more you are involved in the better!!So get involved!!

Well done to all

Just to let you know I got a lovely card from SVP Milford thanking all TY students for their kind donation of 92.50 before Christmas. Well done to all and also to those who helped with the collection. I will put the card up on the TY notice board. You could take a picture for your scrap book .... just an idea. Well done. Nice to help others out who are in need of a little help.
