Well done to all of our choir students who sang their socks off at the Country and Western night and Carol singing. 

Hi, we are 6 students, aged 12 to 18 years.  We work from different curriculums to meet the needs of the group. The emphasis is on learning through doing. Life skills and academic work are taught in class and then practiced through Fieldtrips, Cooking, Woodwork, Art activities and Social Training.

 

We too are working on some of the JCSP Programme and are looking forward to running a pilot programme of the new Junior Certificate Level 2.

 

Short trips to date -nature walks in Belvedere, farm trip to Glendeer, weekly Post Office (Saving) trips, Apache Pizza and The Emporium as well as shopping in Dunnes,  Dealz, Heatons, Fagans and Lloyds chemist. We celebrated a landmark 18th birthday with a 2 course formal meal in The Church restaurant.

 

Work experience training has begun for 4 students in the school base. We hope you enjoy looking at us in action. Look at the slide show and of our photos from Science week. You might also catch a glimpse of us on the Woodwork page as we work on The Christmas Village Project.

Secondary Yellow are a class preparing to leave St.Brigid's. 

The priority for these students is to develop independent life-skills which will help them transition to the next stage of their lives. 

To facilitate this Secondary Yellow students are accessing programmes designed to meet their specific needs. These include: 

QQI Level 1 in General Learning : this programme was developed by staff, within the school and validated by QQI, to promote independent living. On this programme students develop a variety of key skills, including personal safety, personal decision making, food choice and health, handling money, social vocabulary and writing

 

Secondary Yellow are also participating in a pre-Vocational Work Experience programme. In preparation for this, students discuss the areas of work they are interested in. Students learn about Personal Care, they model work related scenarios, set learning goals and access a wide variety of pre-vocational skills. Secondary Yellow has secured work placements in several local businesses including supermarkets, hotels, garages and coffee shops.
