Our events programme for 2011/2012 is all about bringing the world of work to life for you and many students like you. If you are a teacher and would like to plan an event or take part in one of our events, give us a call.
We hope to bring you Stock Market Challenge again this year, where students can play at being a stock broker for the day. Trading virtual shares can make you a virtual millionaire! Check out our virtual millionaires from last year's Stock Market Challenge.
Well done to St. Mary's Limavady for success two years in a row!

LUMEN CHRISTI EMPLOYABILITY DAY
On10th November 2011, Lumen Christi College held an afternoon focused on engaging students with 25 employers. Students were introduced to a host of different careers by employers who gave up their time to enlighten students. Hopefully this gave Year 10 and 12 students some help with choosing subjects and an understanding of what is required for certain jobs.
