  • E ARLY University ENTRANCE at Dublin City University
    E ARLY University ENTRANCE at Dublin City University For Transition Year Students with High Academic Ability 2021 - 2022 Academic Year SEMESTEr I Invitation to Participate in the E.U.E. 2021 - 2022 Programme Dear Parent & Student, March 2021 The Centre for Talented Youth, Ireland is pleased to continue the Early University Entrance Programme at Dublin City University for Transition Year students of the 2021-22 academic year. This is an exciting opportunity! Early University Entrance gives students with high academic ability the opportunity to enrol as part-time students on one of several courses based on degree programmes at DCU. Taking a portion of the first year modules, Early Entrants attend DCU for one day each week, over 13 weeks, to study degree level material alongside similarly aged students. The 9 courses are: Biology, Business, Engineering, International Relations, Law & Politics, Philosophy, Physics, Psychology and Sports Science. The Early University Entrance programme has been running for several years and its evaluation composed my PhD thesis. The young students were found to have performed as well (and at times better) than the regular cohort of first year students taking the same modules. They suffered no ill-effects socially as there was a large group of similarly aged students. They learned much in terms of their chosen field of study, but also in terms of independent learning, self-organisation, the demands of learning at university level, high level writing skills and group work. You will read further in the brochure feedback from some of the original Early Entrance students. This brochure outlines the Programme and the courses available in detail.

  • Leinster Schools 1924
    Leinster Schools Athletics Champions 1924-2021 The origins of Leinster Inter-Schools Sports/Championships can be traced back to 1914 under the Dublin Schools League of the GAA. The Dublin Schools' League farmed out athletics events to be held with schools’ hurling/football championship finals. However, as GAA club names are given for winners it is not possible to identify schools. The Irish Amateur Athletic Association (IAAA) organised All-Ireland Schools’ Championships from 1916 and the GAA, All-Ireland Schools’ Championships from 1917. The IAAA did not organise Dublin The National Athletic and Cycling Association of Ireland (NACAI) was founded as the National Governing Body for athletics in July 1922 through the amalgamation of the IAAA and the Athletic Council of the GAA. The now titled “All-Ireland Schools and Colleges Championships” were inaugurated in 1923 under the NACAI. Dublin Inter-Schools’ Athletics Championships were revived in 1924 and organised by the Co Dublin Board of NACAI through to 1930. The Dublin Inter-Schools’ Athletic Union (DSAU), under the aegis of the NACAI, was founded at a meeting of representatives of schools and colleges in Jury’s Hotel on 18 October 1930 to take charge of the organisation of the (County) Dublin Schools and Colleges Athletic Championships. The first Hon. President was Mr Patrick Lynch, Attorney General, and the inaugural Chairman, Rev A. Murphy (Castleknock). From 1930 through 1936 the DSAU ran the Dublin Schools and Colleges Athletic Championships. At a meeting of the Dublin Schools’ Athletic Union in Jury’s Hotel on 3 March 1937 a motion to transform this Union into the Leinster Schools’ Athletic Union was passed unanimously.
