Welcome to Week 16 of The Buzz Newsletter!
It’s Week 16 of The Buzz Newsletter! At The Institute we are proud to work hard every day to support our students’ success – nobody embodies that more than our very own Margaret McCabe. At the Dukes Education Annual Awards, Margaret’s tremendous work was acknowledged when she won the Customer Experience Award. Well done Margaret, we are so proud to work alongside you every day!
Congratulations to 6th Year student Caitlin Lanigan whose photo has been selected as the winner of our ‘Sparking Joy’ photo competition 2025! Submissions will be featured in the yearbook at the end of the year and added to our Sparking Joy noticeboard outside the 1st floor office. Thank you to all students who submitted photos and shared some joy with their fellow students.
Well done to our 4th Years who supported Our Lady’s Hospice Harold’s Cross annual Light Up A Life fundraiser. Thanks to their effort and community spirit, our students raised an impressive €5,612 through sales on the day! 4th Years also enjoyed their annual Christmas cinema trip last Friday, where they watches Home Alone at The Lighthouse cinema.
