2nd Year English student, Tim Murphy, writes about the visit by two advertising and design professionals to give the class feedback on their Digital Media work.
On Thursday the 23rd of April, Jake Walsh and Laura Fitzgerald came in to us to see the advertisements we had created, listen to our pitches and also to give us feedback. Laura Fitzgerald is a copywriter at Chemistry.ie and Jake Walsh is the CEO of Screenscene and the chairperson of the Institute of Creative Advertising and Design (ICAD) but most importantly, he is a past pupil of Stratford. They were very impressed by our advertisements and our pitches. As were we when we heard of some of the advertisements they were involved in! Many thanks to Ms Byrne for organising for them to come in.

We welcomed our incoming First Years (2024) for a special visit and school orientation session today. With our current First Years on hand to guide and support, it was a fun filled few hours where everyone got to know each other, play games, meet teachers, learn about life in Stratford and find their way around their soon to be new school.
It was a delight to meet everyone and roll on September!!
