After months of planning and preparation, six of our second year beauty students left Dublin Airport early on Sunday afternoon with our Beauty Therapy Department Head, Gillian Byrne, to fly to Tenerife in sunny Spain.  The girls will begin a three week work experience placement, as part of an Erasmus+ programme, in Spas and Salons in Playa de las Americas on Monday 11 March. We congratulate Amy O'Kane, Aislinn McNicholl, Sarah Golden, Nicole Kavanagh, Alisha Cannon and Erica Cairns on being selected to avail of this wonderful opportunity to work and live abroad and wish them the very best of luck on their work placement! We look forward to receiving their daily updates, pictures and videos!
