The Maths Department organised Maths Week events centred around Mangahigh and daily puzzles from Monday 12th to Friday 16th October. Competition was extremely keen amongst the classes. In addition to Maths Week it was also EU Code Week. Students from 1st year to 5th year practiced coding during their IT classes.

This is when a multitude of different spring bulbs (Hyacinths, Daffodils, Tulips, Crocuses, Narcissi) are mixed together and randomly planted so that we have a mixture of flowers and patterns emerging in the spring. It mimics nature and so is more enticing to pollinators and native insects that need the food in Spring.
