World Skills Day 2024

By Maisie Lanigan (4D)

On Thursday the 26th of September our TY students went to World Skills Day 2024 in the RDS!
This trip was a bit different to the ones we have had so far as we were taking public transport for the first time🚂

We met at Rush and Lusk Train Station at 8:30 and had our Leapcards at the ready.
When we arrived to Connolly Station we then had to get a Dart to Sandymount.
From Sandymount we had a quick walk to the RDS which is where all the fun began!

There were many people showing off their very impressive skills from hairdressing to film making🎥
We also got to talk to many colleges about courses and apprenticeships that might interest us.
There was some delicious food choices outside but unfortunately the rain kept most of us inside, thankful we brought a packed lunch!

After a very enjoyable and informative few hours it was time to head back to Lusk.
We took both the dart and train again and then walked back to school for our last 2 classes.

This was a great learning experience and gave us some great ideas on the skills we can work on in TY!
