As a Post Leaving Cert and Further Education provider, we endeavour to develop skills such as entrepreneurship, innovation, communication, information technology, independence etc. Keynote speaker Seamus Hoyne congratulated all graduates and spoke of the variety of opportunities available to learners. He spoke of the collaboration of CMCO and TUS in providing a college of the future. We continue to network with all the relevant stakeholders at national and local levels to improve the learning experience of our students. Local businesses are very supportive when it comes to taking our students on work experience, and we appreciate this. We are especially grateful to TUS for extending its facilities to our students this year. This has greatly enhanced the experience of our students. We here at CMCO pride ourselves on the quality of delivery of programs while also being very mindful of how necessary the personal touch and the word of encouragement is to our learners daily.

Special awards presented on the day were as follows: Art and Design Student of the Year Level 5 – Jade Schofield
