Ryan Loves Liverpool

Ryan O'Hare is loving his course in Business Studies and Computing at Liverpool Hope. I am mad with envy. I had one year of postgraduate work at university in Liverpool, and loved it too.

Sean's Joinery Success

Sean Delaney called up to pay for his formal tickets, looking healthy and happy, and more than half way through his training as a joiner.

Laura joins Iberia

Hot off the press comes news that Laura O'Hare has just secured a job for herself with Iberia airline, teaching languages to their staff. It sounds like a fantastic opportunity. Free flights for relatives? friends? ex-teachers?

Rebecca Back from Texas

Rebecca Cunnningham paid a state visit this week to meet our A level biology students to tell them about her fantastic year of study in Texas. She returns to Queen's University this year to complete her degree in biomedical science. Potential plans include returning to Texas, which she loved, to work for a PhD. It was great to see her, and her infectious enthusiasm will inspire our current crop of A level biology students.

Baby Blue Eyes

Donal Ferris called to tell us he has graduated in Media Production from the University of Bedfordshire, having thoroughly enjoyed his course. He has taken up an internship at a company called "Baby Blue Eyes Productions" based in Drury Lane in London. He is really happy and will continue to live in Luton.

Another First

It's been a great week for visitors. Zoe Hall, nee Woolsey, had just heard that she has achieved a first class honours degree in Nursing from Queens. She has also just scooped an excellent post in the Ulster Hospital, Dundonald. She is married to Jonathan, living in Annalong and is really happy. She is going to work as a staff nurse and has an option on midwifery training to move on to if that is what she decides on. She'll be coming in to talk to A level students about her course and training.

Conal got in touch

See below about running into Ryan McCabe. Conal Magee called in to see us this week, looking terrific, happy and fulfilled. His story of how he found his way is really interesting, and we fully intend to have him in to talk to our media students and music students. He'll have careers advice to share, and skills and new stuff developed during his degree course at Hull. He has loads of creative projects underway, just what our students need to hear about.
