The Easy Subjects
▶ There is no such thing as an easy subject.
▶ Consider the content of a subject and match it to
student ability
▶ Example: if the student has an aptitude for
practical tasks they would enjoy a subject with
project work and ‘hands on’ practical activities.
▶ Likewise if a student is very academic they will find
theory subjects much easier to understand.

Visual Art
▶ This is a subject that promotes teaching
and learning through art, craft and design.
▶ Visual Art also recognises and rewards a
number of different forms of intelligences.
▶ The Art Department here at St. Augustine’s
believes that it is also very important that
students enjoy their time in class which in
turn leads to self -motivated learning and
students taking responsibility for their own
learning in time.

The benefit of Home Economics in teaching young people how to
cook is strongly championed by Neven Maguire.
‘’My first cooking lessons were at home with my mother Vera in our
family kitchen. I was the first boy in my school to enrol for Home
Economics classes in secondary school.
These classes were the basis of my love of food which led to my entering Fermanagh catering
college and the beginnings of my work at MacNean House and Restaurant. I am forever
grateful for the practical life skills that I learned through this subject. The skills learned
throughout Home Economics are ones which students can utilise themselves day to day,
and I believe there are massive benefits to having the subject become a compulsory part of
the curriculum, regardless of whether they want to pursue a career in the food and hospitality
sector."
