LCA students attended a car safety and maintenance workshop on Wednesday 11th November. The workshop was facilitated by Mechanic Michael O’Gorman who invented the MOG car, which has been modified to show all working parts through the removal of panels
The MOG car safety demonstration is a unique practical training programme that reveals all the key components of a car. The demonstration showed would-be drivers the practical function of car components, covering safety and car maintenance.
The workshop was both an entertaining and educational event!

Finally after a number of unscheduled delays Hazelwood College is happy to announce the plans for our new extension have finally been submitted to Limerick County Council.
The extension will comprise of a Home Economics Suite, a new Science Laboratory, a new computer room, 5 general classrooms, 3 support classrooms and a number of other facilities including Pastoral Care offices, toilet facilities, referees facilities and all the supports a building of its size will require.
The new building will be built to the latest standards in engineering, and will be built to near Passiv standards, meaning it will be a warm and comfortable building. Every room will be built with maximising light and natural ventilation in mind.
As the building will be built on the current outdoor hard-court area a new hard-court area will be constructed to the western end of the existing building.
Should all go to plan, the intention is to conduct the heavy groundworks over the summer months of 2016 with the new building to be completed in advance of the academic year beginning September 2017.
