ST. JOSEPH’S student, Barry Smith, with children from the Kilmacormick Playgroup. They are Tommy Lee O’neill, Sean Hallett, Olivia Boyle, Ryan Sheridan. Kalen Convey, Danielle Hanna and Francis Hynes.

16-year-old Barry took something of a trip down memory lane when his work placement brought him back to the play group he attended when he was a toddler.

Barry was one of the first group of children to attend Kilmacormick playgroup 14 years ago. Last week he returned to the play group as part of his work experience from St. Joseph’s College.

He is looking ahead to next June when he takes his GCSE examinations and is hoping to pursue a career in PE working with young people.
