In an effort to reduce plastic use ACS will not sell plastic bottles of water in the school shop. Students are encouraged to purchase a reusable water bottle which they can fill up before they come to school. This initiative will make some impact on reducing plastic pollution and help protect ocean animals. Everyone is asked to try and support this initiative.

Geography Field Trip

Geography Field Trip A group of 67 fifth year Geography students from Athboy Community School with teachers Mr. Magner, Ms Shanley and Ms Barrett went to Kippure House Estate near Blessington in Co. Wicklow for a river field study on Thursday May 2nd. The purpose of the field trip was to investigate the impact of the processes of transportation and deposition on the formation of a river meander on the Upper River Liffey. In lovely, bright weather the group had an enjoyable, action-packed day gathering data in the Liffey. With the aid of the park rangers each student measured the river velocity and classed the river flow using Berg’s Classification. Next the students did a River Channel Cross Section to see the effects of erosion on the shape of the river. They recorded the gradient of the river itself and used clinometers to carry out a Valley Profile to see the effect of deposition on the shape of the valley. They also measured the sinuosity of the curve of the river to determine whether or not it could be classed as a meander. The group also did a Bedload Analysis to see the impact of the processes of attrition, saltation and traction on the material being carried and deposited by the river. They also observed features of erosion and deposition such as a point bar, meander, rapids as well as a river cliff. The group also did field sketches at both sites to take note of the features, conditions and processes evident. The students are now producing a report on the field trip which is worth 20% of their Leaving Certificate Geography examination.
