Improving Gender Balance 1

Avondale Community College hosted their first ever SciFest@School on 26th February. There was a great buzz in the hall... as nearly 130 first and second year students presented over 40 projects.

Projects on display included 'Exothermic versus endothermic reactions', 'Microplastics in fleeces', 'Rolling tins' and 'A De-Fib Me App'. There was also a number of agricultural projects including 'Which thrives better, Suckler versus bucket fed?' and 'A study of Belted Galloway cows'.

All in all the projects were of a high standard. Well done to the students and their teachers.

Notice for Third Year parents and students: The information meeting on the Transition Year programme is scheduled for Monday 15th January at 7pm,
