TCS - What's happening
Johnson & Johnson Business in the Community

On Monday 30th April, a group of 6th year pupils convened in the Department Of Education building on Marlborough Street to celebrate the two-year mentoring link with Johnson & Johnson. Throughout the past two years, Aoife Cahill, Karen Sewell, Richard Martin, Cindy Ling, Louise Harnett, Grace Kenny and Ciara Henry have nurtured a relationship with J&J that has seen them take regular trips up to Airton Road to meet their mentors. These sessions usually happened once a month and involved sessions such as CV preparation, interview techniques, career choice advice and just general banter. Each student represented the school admirably and benefited hugely from the time and interest shown to them by each of the mentors.

At the mentoring celebration, TCS received a special mention amongst all the Leinster schools for the ten-year link with Johnson & Johnson which we proudly hold. It is no secret that we hold this link in very high esteem and as one of the organisers of this Mentoring Programme here in school, I am immensely proud of the impression TCS has left once again on all they have come into contact with.

The mentoring scheme will resume again with next years 5th year and LCA students in September.

On her way to the USA
Congratulations and Bon Voyage!

Here at TCS, we are always delighted to hear from past pupils. Hearing how their studies or lives pan out is always interesting, and none more so than the path that Shauna Griffin is about to take. Shauna graduated last May from TCS with a huge accolade under her belt as "Sportstar of the Year 2011". She left us safe in the knowledge that she had her college place secure through interviews, trials and good grades. This was a great achievement in itself and she went on to excel in her Leaving Cert.

We were put into different committees with different jobs. There was the Management committee who would make sure other committees were doing their jobs and were in charge of the event. They would also motivate us to get our work done.
