Some of our Transition Year 2 students had the wonderful opportunity to see a live presentation, and participate in a Q & A session with the legendary Dr. Jane Goodall, the world-renowned scientist and environmentalist. Primatologist Jane Goodall spoke about her study of chimpanzees & her conservation work via Skype. This was made possible through a Microsoft initiative, organised by Ms. Treacy. An educational and enjoyable experience for all involved.
First Year students competed in our Sci-fest at school recently.
First Prize was awarded to Ryan Murray for his project 'Does drinking the daily intake of water help you in daily life?'

Well done to all of the student who entered a range of thought-provoking and innovative projects.
