Launch of the First Years

 

Once again St Patrick’s College has marked the beginning of term with an number of days set aside to welcome new students and focus on their adjustment to college life.  The First Year Induction took place on the 25th and 29th of September this year.  Initial reports indicate that it was a great success and the new students are now ready and keen to begin their studies.  Approximately 620 students (including BAs, BEds and International students) have been officially 'inducted'.  29 members of staff and 30 student mentors participated to make it, once again, a successful event.  All involved played a stellar part in helping to welcome the new students and to create a good first impression.  The canteen staff served tea and coffee to all students in 'gig time', which added to the smooth running of the overall event.  Erasmus students were included in the morning sessions which, gave them a chance to meet the first years and receive a tour of the College, proving that the common denominator is often our fundamental need to begin somewhere!
