Intel Mini Scientists - Runners Up 2019

Congratulations to our four Mini Scientists who came in as Runners-Up in today's Intel Mini Scientist Grand Final!!

Hosted in Maynooth, today saw the final 23 projects chosen from over 8,000 students and 2,500 projects. The cream of the crop were on show!

To get to that stage was an incredible achievement, so imagine the girls' delight when they were announced as the runners-up!

This is a phenomenal achievement for the girls, not least that they got to this stage for a second year in a row! Well done to Anna, Ellen, Meadhbh and Shannon and their parents (though credit must go to Janet in particular for her great work with them).

A very proud day for the girls and the school. Well done girls!!!

Fabric Art in 6th

The sixth class have recently been creating some fabulous art.

They have put their artistic skills to good use, weaving some beautiful patterns to create some delightful art pieces.

Don't they look great! Well done to all the sixth!

Here are some examples of their work.

Girls' Trip to Technical Bureau

The girls from the Intel Mini Competition have been preparing for the All Ireland Grand Final by visiting the Technical Bureau to see how forensic science works in the Gardaí at the highest level.

On what was a very interesting experience, the girls looked at previous crimes and the different ways forensic science is used to solve them.

They have been putting in great work ahead of the Grand Final on March 4th - the very best of luck to them!

Athletics in Sixth Class

The sixth class have been busy doing Athletics in P.E. in the guise of circuit training.

They have been having great fun, while getting fit!

A very energetic and fun class!
