BUSINESS AND OFFICE TECHNOLOGY COURSE IN SCOIL CHONGLAIS, BALTINGLASS
I have joined this course in September and it's one of the best and important decisions I have taken since stepping into Ireland. It's a great one year course for PLC (Post Leaving Certificate) students and you also have some of the nation's finest Faculty to equip you with all the knowledge, training and skills you will require in any type of organisation.
While our Course Instructor, come hail or snow, everyday makes sure she gives us Typing tests so we pass the 'Speed Test' later this year, another staff gives it all she's got in training us with 'Database and Payroll' skills. Our 'Spreadsheets' Teacher has successfully opened our eyes into the world of 'V-Lookups, H-Lookups, Ifs and Macros'. Then comes our 'Communications' Teacher, in all elegance and professionalism, gets the tasks done by us, whether it's 'Letters, Magazines, or Reports', in the same measure- elegantly and professionally. The sweet Miss who teaches us 'Espanol- Spanish' also makes us Spanish dishes like 'Tortilla- Spanish Omelette', because she knows we are all sweet students as well.
After the first week itself I realised how lucky I am to be in this class of 2011-12 with the best colleagues sitting all around you. Though I haven't yet spoken to some of them as freely as I would like to, I know they are all a funny, friendly and fun-loving bunch of people to be around with. While one is quiet and calm, the other is vibrant and loud. Then one is organised by dating and filing each day's documents, while another requests the same documents each day as the previous day's docs are lost in the pile on his desk. While one is a dedicated sportsman, the other is the Secretary of the Sports Club. While one is wondering which College to join after the course, another counts the days remaining for the next big vacation so he can plan out his holiday breaks. But, no matter what, each one is intelligent, smart, works hard and supports each other all the time. The goal is common- getting a good job after the training! This is the great batch in the BOTC class this year. Hope we get to spend a day together for a trip or a fun day outside or something like that so some good memories can be cherished for a long time.
Walking into the school premises early in the morning is always a pleasant experience as you have all those mischieviously wonderful school boys and girls running around, shouting and greeting you with "Hi Sunny", which sometimes do make me wonder what they would be upto. And these are the students of a School which has made it's presence globally known with both national and world records in many fields. So they are definitely the future Superstars of Ireland. During the breaks, you can buy the graciously served fresh tea/coffee/drinks along with some tasty snacks, the smell of which won't leave your head until you have them all. The School infrastructure is also one of the finest in Ireland and we students are given training with the help of every latest technology a modern school is bound to provide. The best of its kind! Located amidst vast greenery overlooking the high mountains and just a few minutes walking distance from the town, Scoil Chonglais, Baltinglass is surely the place for education!
