N E W S L E T T E R World Record for Portlaoise Coiste Ghairmoideachais Chontae laoise COuNTy lAOIs VOCATIONAl EDuCATION COMMITTEE NEWSLETTER A PROVIDER OF EDuCATIONAl OPPORTuNITIEs JuNE 2011 WORLD RECORD FOR PORTLAOISE COLLEGE STUDENT In April, Portlaoise College student Joseph Thompson made his way to school with world records probably being the furthest thing from his mind. He was due to run as part of the school’s team in the John Treacy Olympic silver medallist whereby a team of 32 students run a Marathon Relay. This is an initiative introduced by the former marathon in relay format. Each team had to complete approximately 105 laps of a 400m track and Portlaoise set a blistering pace as they set out to complete the course in a quicker time than Treacy’s own Irish record of 2.09.15. m/sec. The star of the show, however, was Joseph Thompson. His average time of 28 seconds per 200m interval broke the world record of 34 seconds, and the national record of 36 seconds. It was all the more remarkable as Joseph is not a member of an athletics club, although after his impressive performance here, it’s likely he will draw some attention from the local clubs. Portlaoise College won the overall event, making it a double success for the school on the day. Joseph Thompson PRESENTATION OF A COMMISSIONED ART PIECE Early last year, Anne O’Keeffe, CEO, commissioned a piece of artwork for the new reception area of the VEC Head Office. The Art, Craft & Design students of Abbeyleix Further Education Centre, with the help of tutors Jackie Carter, Edel O’Keeffe and Jock Nickol completed the piece last summer. It was with great pleasure that the students – Maria Desmond, Amy Brannigan and Fiona Doyle presented this piece to Joe Cunningham to close the annual Abbeyleix Further Education Centre awards ceremony on Friday February 18th.
