Rockbrook students help Junior Fast Trackers

The Harcourt Junior Fast Track programme is now in its second year at Citywise in Jobstown. This year over forty young people attend weekly for afterschool classes, and for wider learning opportunities. the aim is to encourage young people in their learning, helping to make it fun, and opening up their eyes to the possibility of further education.
Role models are vital on such programmes and Transition Year students from Rockbrook Park School in Rathfarnham turn up weekly to help run the programme. This communty involvement is a great help to the volunteers as well, as they grow in confidence and people management skills as well as moving a step nearer to the President's Awards.
Chris, Conor, Tim, Brian and Evan are well liked by the children on Junior Fast Track and are making their impact felt, with a very good weekly attendance at the programme.
