Our students really performed amazingly this year. They really did their parents and the staff of Hazelwood College proud. While they have dispersed onto different paths, some going to Leaving Certificate Applied, and to Transition Year as well as those who went directly into fifth year, they all have a firm Junior Certificate foundation to work from.
Here are some photographs from the day, more details to follow in later posts.

After a summer of historic hurling highs, which memorably included ending the twenty-five year wait for Munster Minor honours, Hazelwood College students and Limerick Minor Hurling heroes Jamie Butler, Sean Flanagan and Seamus Flanagan returned to school. Off field, Jamie and Sean face an equally memorable year as they strive to match the success on the field this summer with similar success in next year’s Leaving Certificate exam hall. They can be assured that the support evident this summer in Semple Stadium will be echoed, if not as loud, in Hazelwood College as they return to their studies. Currently, Sean plans to pursue studies for a Bachelor of Education in Mary Immaculate College next year, while Jaime plans to study Electronic Engineering in University of Limerick and Seamus looks forward to receiving his Junior Certificate results shortly. Also on the Limerick Minor Hurling Team was Hazelwood College graduate, Damian Lacey, who recently received his Leaving Certificate results and has gained admission to study Business, Sports and Recreation in CIT. Best of luck to all from the staff and students of Hazelwood College.

Hazelwood College Transition Year students participated on an induction programme at the Ballyhass Lakes Activity Centre. Students participated in a series of physical challenges in order to build bonds and to prepare them for the unique challenges and learning environment offered by Transition Year. The programme is designed to instil individual confidence and independence, while strengthening the group’s identity and awareness. The development of both the individual and group confidence are key in the TYP, where students are encouraged to become self-directed and autonomous learners, able to work collectively and individually on practical and academic challenges, without the pressure of state exams.
