Ms McCarthy and Ms O'Sullivan organised a trip for the Junior Science classes to visit the BT Young Scientist Exhibition on Thursday afternoon, 7th January. 2nd Year students, Greg Brenner and Oonagh Delargy write about their experience of the visit.
Some of the projects were really interesting and we got more free stuff compared to last year. I really like the robots.

The BT Young Scientist Exhibition took place yesterday. It was thoroughly enjoyable and I learnt a lot. I learnt about the rocks of Ireland and about various organisations including HPRA which monitors medical devices. I can't wait to go next year.
