\n A number of our exceptional Leaving Certificate students from the Class of 2016 recently dropped back into Davitt College to say their final goodbyes and express their gratitude to management, teachers, and staff for supporting them throughout their six years of post-primary education.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n These ambitious young men and women are embarking on an exciting new chapter as they begin third-level courses in prestigious universities and training colleges for the 2016\/2017 academic year. Our graduates are spreading their wings to all four provinces of Ireland and beyond\u2014with destinations ranging from Trinity College Dublin and University College Cork to NUI Galway and Aberystwyth University in Wales.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n 🔬 Strong Trend Towards STEM Disciplines\n <\/p>\n

\n Reflecting on the class profile, Davitt College Principal Ms. Bernie Rowland<\/strong> highlighted a significant shift in student academic focuses:\n <\/p>\n\n \n

\n

\u201cThere is definitely a trend towards the STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths) this year. We offer all four science subjects at Senior Level: Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Agricultural Science. There has been a steady increase in the uptake of these subjects over the past two to three years, and this is highly evident when you consider the diverse degree programmes our students are choosing at third level.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2014 Ms. Bernie Rowland, Principal<\/strong>\n <\/div>\n\n
