The Transition Years of Hazelwood College organised a raffle of a munster rugby jersey in aid of The National Council of the Blind. In the picture we have (L-R) Ayesha McSweeney, Peter Gilmore winner and Tom Halpin games master. The Transition Years would like to thank everyone who were involved in this worthy cause. A special thanks to Brendan Burke (principal) for allowing us to contribute to the funding of this organisation.
Hazelwood students out did themselves yet again with another win for the Home Economics Department. Second year students Emma Sheehan & Laura Enright were the overall winners with Kelley Buckley taking runner-up prize in Category One of the Bord Bia Quality Mark Schools Competition in the Listowel Food Fair recently. Students were asked to create a healthy & nourishing lunch box menu consisting of a sandwich type element, snack and drink. The ingredients used had to contain the Bord Bia Quality Mark and they had to provide a detailed summary why it is important for customers to have the Quality Mark logo on the raw materials for the lunch box menu. The students also had to design a poster to promote the healthy lunch box menu to parents and students. Emma and Laura received a €100 An Post voucher and certificate each, while Kelley received a €50 An Post voucher and certificate. A big congratulations to the girls on their winning entries and the Home Economics Department look forward to their future endeavours.

As part of their computers class, 2nd years have each made a website on a topic of interest to them.
To create these websites they had to learn their way through the Google Apps Suite of programs to edit and develop their sites.
They learned how to develop, structure and publish their websites. To give them some added features they learned also how to use Picassa Web Albums to incorporate slideshows in their sites.
Currently they have just set up Google Analytics to help them understand how people interact and use their sites. They will then use this information to improve the stites and add more relevant information to your needs. Please visit their sites and come back often so they can tailor and expand their websites.
