As part of transition year Laois and Offaly Education & Training Board in conjunction with Agri-Aware are delighted to be offering its new program “Introduction to Agriculture” to all TYs in ASCN. Ms. Victoria Kells from Agri-Aware visited ASCN today and worked with one group of TY students around the topic “Digestion in the Ruminant”. Students competed in a quiz, took part in a group work activity and finished the lesson with a presentation of their work to their peers. In the coming weeks students will participate in more activities throughout the programme and get a real feel for the subject Ag-Science. This will help them make an informed choice going forward into senior cycle.

Cluedin Programme
Congratulations to our TY and Brosna students that recently completed the Cluedin Financial Awareness programme. Students learned about how to manage their money and also what products and services are on offer from their local credit union. Thanks to Lena and Richard...
