Well done to Micheal O’Dowd Level 5 Liberal Arts and James Morrow Level 6 Health, Fitness & Sports Performance who

helped the Monaghan minors win their first Ulster title since 1999 beating Tyrone in the final.

Congratulations to the Year 2 Hairdressing students who completed their City & Guilds Unit 212. Students had to create an image based on a chosen theme. Taking inspiration from this theme, they then had to create a moodboard and recreate a Fantasy type hairstyle on their model. This really tapped into the creative side of hairdressing students and introducted them to a different side to the industry.
