St. Flannan’s College TY Talks
We’re delighted to launch two new podcasts on our Spotify channel, ‘St. Flannan’s College TY Talks’.
Up first, our Transition Year students sit down with past pupil Amie Wiley — a social media content creator, founder of Active with Amie, and creator of the clothing brand Tonnta.
Amie reflects on her time in St. Flannan’s College and how those early experiences shaped her journey after school. From building an online community around fitness and wellbeing to launching her own brand, she shares insights into becoming a content creator and entrepreneur.
This is an inspiring conversation filled with school memories, valuable lessons, and practical advice on building a personal brand and business. Be sure to listen!
We also welcome past pupil and accomplished musician Dermot Sheedy. A self-taught percussionist, Dermot has built an impressive career performing across Ireland and internationally.
In this episode, Dermot reflects on how his passion for music began during his school years and led him to perform on stages around the world. We also explore the journey of Hermitage Green — from early trad sessions to becoming an internationally touring band — along with the stories and experiences that shaped their sound.
This episode celebrates creativity, music, and the journey from school beginnings to global stages — an inspiring listen for students and music lovers alike
