Transition Year Educational Visit to ATU Sligo
On Thursday, 16th April, our Transition Year students enjoyed an informative and engaging visit to the Atlantic Technological University (ATU) Sligo campus. The day began with a welcoming talk from Ms Orla Seery, School Liaison Officer, who outlined the wide range of courses on offer at ATU, the supports available to students, and the many educational pathways open to them after second-level education.
Following the talk, students took part in a comprehensive guided tour of the campus. This included visits to the Business and Social Sciences facilities, Engineering and Design areas, Science and Computing departments, and the recently opened Art building. Students also had the opportunity to experience campus life first-hand by visiting the Library and using the canteen facilities.
In the afternoon, the group travelled to Strandhill, where they climbed Knocknarea. This activity provided a valuable opportunity to promote physical activity, teamwork, and wellbeing, while also enjoying the local natural environment.
Overall, the visit was a highly beneficial experience. It gave students greater insight into further education options, supported informed subject and career choices, and contributed positively to their personal development and wellbeing.
