AGRICULTURAL SCIENCE FARM TRIP

Our Agricultural Science students visited Padraic McMahon’s farm in North Co. Dublin to put into practice what they have been studying this year. They got involved in all activities surrounding lambing, including moving sheep, catching lambs, tagging ears, docking tails, injections, feeding lambs and even assisted with a lamb being born! Of course there was plenty of lamb cuddles too! It was lovely to have two past pupils, that are on their work placement on the farm, guide the students and discuss their degrees in Animal Science that they are currently studying in UCD.

Walk for Water - Celebrating the value of fresh water in our lives

On Friday 14th of March the Green School Commitee and all 5th years participated in Walk For Water.
The students walked carrying their bags with books to represent carrying water. In our world 1 in 10 people do not have access to clean water and in developing countries normally the girls in families need to walk on average 6km daily carrying 20kg of water. In Ireland a household uses 133liters a day. That would be 133kg of water.
The message from the Green Schools committee is that they "hope everyone took time to think about how vital water is, how much we use it, and why we shouldn't waste water! Even though we are walking along the sea and seeing so much water - none of it is drinkable. Only 1.2% of water in the world is!"
Walk for Water is part of the HFC Greens Schools campaign for getting the water flag and making HFC more sustainable

Great leaving cert revision in a hands-on setting.

On Friday, 8th of March, students from TY exhibited their projects in our first in-house SciFest@School in Holy Faith Clontarf.
SciFest is a national STEM fair programme for second-level students, encouraging a love of STEM and inquiry-based learning. The programme is funded primarily by Intel Ireland, Boston Scientific, EirGrid, Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals and the Department of Education.
Students demonstrated their knowledge of science, technology, engineering, and maths through their creative and innovative projects. The overall prize went to “Effects of Sedentary Lifestyle on Students Ability to Learn” by Aoibheann Conlon, Emma Phelan, and Sally Flynn. Runner up prize and the “EirGrid Cleaner Climate” rosette went to a project about using a kinetic floor to harness energy: “Are the Coldplay bikes the solution to the energy crisis?” by Dervla Conlon and Natalie Kilcullen. There was also a best display and booklet writeup award that went to “Two Liters of Water Everyday – Ordinary or Unnecessary?” by Ana Walsh, Rachel Ardiff, and Rosie Cudden.
A big thank you goes to 5th years BT Young Scientists 2024 category award winners Caoimhe Mc Caul and Cara Mulligan, and rosette winners Phoenix Hickson-Pitt, Marianne McGovern, and Sara Hanney, for judging alongside Ms Culloty and Ms Carragher. Thank you also to Ms O’Brien for organizing the event, and to second year teachers who allowed the girls come see the fair.
Commenting on the success of the science fair Sheila Porter, Founder and CEO of SciFest added: “Since its nationwide launch in 2011, SciFest@School has grown remarkably. I am consistently impressed by the enthusiasm and commitment shown by the students. SciFest@School serves as a vibrant celebration of STEM subjects, encouraging students to extend beyond the confines of the classroom, apply their scientific knowledge, and engage in creative and investigative projects. The accomplishments of these students are truly inspiring, reflecting not only their own efforts but also the dedication and support provided by their teachers.”
