Mount St. Michael College Awareness Week 2019
November 17th to 23rd
College Awareness Week (CAW) is a national campaign which aims to promote the benefits of going to college, to help students of all ages to become college-ready and to showcase local role models.
It is delivered in partnership with the following organisations: the Higher Education Authority, the National Association of Principals and Deputy Principals and the Confederation of Student Services Ireland. It is a multi-organisational and collaborative initiative involving a wide range of stakeholders, including schools, HEIs, museums, libraries and businesses.
Why Get Involved?
Going to college is becoming more and more important. A college education helps students to fulfill their potential, allows them to undertake a course of study which can be both fascinating and challenging, and helps them to secure employment and decent living standards in the future. Individuals and society benefit from increased levels of educational attainment.
Each year in Mount St. Michael CAW is marked by a week long timetable of events. Past pupils are invited to the school to give a taste of different careers, and how they went about fulfilling their dreams. There are also invited speakers from numerous 3rd level institutions and all students are encouraged to engage with the week by thinking about what career they might like to follow.
