Senior Biology students listened to a talk from the Blood Transfusion Service on Thursday, 24th November. Michael Lysaght (6th Year) describes the talk.
For Science Week 2011, the entire 4th Year class, along with the 5th and 6th Year Biology students were visited by a member of the Blood Bank (or Irish Blood Transfusion Service) who gave a presentation on blood donations. She went through all the various details regarding blood transfusions, such as blood types, health of the donor, suitable ages and allowed the students to watch a DVD of the criteria.
Unfortunately for the 4th Years, they had taken part in a sponsored sleepover in the school the previous night and had difficulty keeping awake. However, the presentation continued brilliantly and ended with a Q&A session.
