/

🎶 Music & Choir • Virtual Performance “Winter Song” – A Festive Performance by The Davitt College Singers 14 December 2020 • Music Department Embracing the sentiment that “social distance doesn’t mean we are not together,” The Davitt College Singers united creatively from afar to share a very special musical message. This Christmas, our incredibly talented vocalists came together from the comfort of their own homes to record a beautiful collaborative cover of “Winter Song” by Sara Bareilles and Ingrid Michaelson. Despite the physical distance, our students synchronized their voices to produce a moving, high-quality performance that perfectly captures the strength and spirit of our school community. We hope you thoroughly enjoy this wonderful performance from our exceptional students. We would also like to take this opportunity to wish all of our students, staff, families, and the wider community a happy and safe Christmas, and we look forward to a brighter year ahead! ❄️✨🎄🎶🌟👏 Watch directly on YouTube →

🤖 Engineering • EA Robot Games Selection Davitt College Selected for EA Robot Games Competition 14 May 2018 • Engineering & Technology Department Davitt College, Castlebar first introduced Sumo Robots to the Transition Year Programme in 2013, and the initiative has grown from strength to strength since. Sumo Robots is an Engineering and Technology module designed to introduce students to the emerging field of robotics and electronics. During the process of building their machines, students cover everything from the history of automation to the 3D printing of their very own custom-designed components. Following months of design fabrication, Davitt College achieved a major milestone with seven independent student teams selected to compete at the national EA Robot Games held in Galway. “The competition at the end of all this hard work is a great reward for them. They have so much fun on the day of the finals that it feels more like a celebration of their effort than a competition. It’s also deeply satisfying as their teacher to see students having so much fun learning. This competition really shows the students the real-life applications of STEM subjects and how they might enjoy studying them in their future.” — Mr. Padraic McTaibheis, Engineering Teacher ×
