Being in TY, we didn't know what to expect during the lockdown. Would we have to do anything? Would we have to join online classes? Will we even go back to school this year?
However lockdown turned out to be a great opportunity for me to do courses online, attend virtual open day and lots more.
Our great coordinator, Mr. Murphy, organised courses for us to do with IACT online (including courses in driving, computers, personal skills, wellbeing, hospitality). These were a great way to pass time at home while learning.
Here is a list of the other online courses/events I took part in during lockdown:
40 IACT Online courses
"Solicitors of the Future" - Law Society of Ireland
RCSI Mini Med virtual TY Programme
Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind TY Programme (click here to learn more about our fundraiser Irish Guide Dog Day)
Career Expo 2021
NUIG Taster Days
Student Enterprise competition
He@lthFest 2021
When we came back to school I also did a GAA Coaching Course, which taught me about the foundations of coaching.
All of the IACT Online Certificates are similar to this:
