Work Experience- Round Two!

On the 27th of February, the TY's went on there second round of Work Experience. I did mine in Pelco Ltd in Blanchardstown.
On Monday morning I woke up excited for the day ahead. When i arrived i got to know the staff. Then i started off in the accounts department. Later I went to the Human Resources Department. Here i watched as people were interviewed. On Tuesday, I travelled around each of the Branches of Pelco. We travelled around Dublin and did stock takes. On Wednesday I did the rosters for each of the branches and I also sorted through the staff files. On Friday I was in the accounts department and had to count the money and also did the wages. Overall i did really enjoy my work experience!

Lolly Lolly Lolly!

On Friday the 24th Of February, we all went to Dublin City Centre to sell lollipops as part of Lollipop Day to raise money for the Oesophagus Cancer fund. We left school at 9.05 all excited in our t-shirts and hats we were given. We arrived in the city centre and we were given a map with our groups names and where we had to go. Leah, Caitriona and I were standing outside the Shelbourne Hotel. We raised lots of money and sold lots of lolly's. Its safe to say that it was one of the Best days of TY so far!

Mini Company Competition

On Wednesday 22nd of February, we had our Mini Company Competition. We were all very busy preparing our stand and getting all our information together for weeks before, and so the day of the competition came before we knew it. 'My Busy Bag' came together very well and all our members went for the sophisticated look, dressing all in black. The competition took place in our school hall, with each company having their stand set up for everyone to see. The judges came and unfortunately, My Busy Bag didn't get through to the finals, but we all enjoyed the day!
