All welcome.
Last week being National Science week, a group of 6th year students took part in the South East schools Science Quiz and performed with great credit, finishing 4th, missing out by one point on qualification for the National finals. Those involved were Aaron Byrne, Shane Doherty, Matty Van Son, Gavin Feeney, Conor Hartley and Paraic McGrath. Well done to them and thanks also to science teachers Mr B Daly and Mr Quigley for accompanying them. On Friday all first years will enjoy a series of Science workshops which will provide a novel and interesting insight to many scientific topics.
