The ceremony, now in its eleventh year, celebrates and recognises excellence in Junior Certificate Business Studies
WIT in association with the Business Studies Teachers Association of Ireland (BSTAI) recently hosted a special awards night for secondary school students in the South East Region who received an A grade in Junior Certificate Higher level Business Studies this year.
260 students from 50 schools in the region (Waterford, Wexford, Kilkenny, Carlow and South Tipperary) attended the awards ceremony with their parents, business studies teachers and school principals.
The National President of BSTAI Ultan Henry and President of WIT Professor Willie Donnelly presented students with a scroll/certificate of achievement, and business teachers received recognition plaques.
Dr Thomas O’Toole, Head of the School of Business at WIT said that the ceremony was an opportunity for parents, teachers and principals to celebrate the success of their students.
“This ceremony will recognise students’ excellence, while also giving them an opportunity to view the modern campus and facilities here at WIT. In time we hope to welcome these students back to WIT as undergraduates in one of our many business courses.”
