The 5th Years ably hosted their Assembly on Tuesday 17th January. It was combined with a special BT Young Scientist & Technology Assembly where Ayush, Joseph and Liam spoke about their respective projects. Ayush explained the importance of his project in terms of breast cancer research and we now can see why he was awarded the Best Individual Project and Horizon Student Award for the overall best Biological & Ecological project at BTYSTE 2023. Liam and Joseph demonstrated their projects too and there was much interest! The finalists parents were invited to the assembly too.
Thanks to the 5th Years and Ms Conlon, the Student Council and Ms Kenny, Ms Gordon and all involved to make sure the assembly and the BTYSTE reception were such successful and happy events. The photos prove it - go to the 2022-2023 web gallery - to see them!
