The council has been working on a number of projects since its establishment. It organised a Careers exhibition in the college in September for all senior cycle students and ran a Drugs Awareness evening for parents in October. Current projects include the organisation of a talk for parents on internet safety and a Drugs workshop for Second Year students and parents which will be held in April. The council aims to improve awareness of its work among parents through a newsletter to be distributed throughout the year.
