5th Year Construction Studies

Project Time for 5th Years

Students enjoy taking a break from theory to work on their practical projects. Favourite types of projects include tables, lamps and clocks. These projects and the practical skills involved in creating such master pieces help develop the necessary skills required to undertake the leaving cert project in 6th year.
