Our Transition Year students recently completed a fantastic barista training course with the LOETB in Tullamore. During the workshop, students learned about the different types of coffee and gained hands-on experience in how to prepare and serve coffee in a professional setting.
Our TY students enjoyed a day out in Mullingar! 🛍️⛸️
From a bit of shopping to trying their hand at ice skating, they bonded, they laughed, and for many—tried something totally new.
A brilliant day of fun, friendship and memories made! ❄️💙
