6th Year
Our 6th Year Agricultural Science Students visited Macroom Buffalo Farm today as a compulsory part of their Leaving Certificate Course. Students experienced Ireland’s first Water Buffalo Dairy Farm with a private guided walk and tour of the farm, followed by an introduction to Mozzarella cheese making which is provided by one of the farm's cheesemakers. Macroom Buffalo Farm is owned and run by Johnny and Geraldine Lynch, who purchased 31 water buffalo from Italy in 2009, introducing the first herd of buffalo to Ireland. Now with a herd of over 150 in Kilnamartyra and Macroom in County Cork, these grass fed animals are thriving in the Irish climate.

We created this video for a CSPE project called “Show racism the red card”. In this video we assembled 42 teachers to take part in both the filming and photos. The videos consisted of item specific to teachers subject e.g. History, Round Tower. Art, paintbrush. The photos consisted of teachers holding a sheet with the school crest, a message saying “Presentation Brothers Cork, United against Racism” and the slogan for the campaign “Show racism the Red Card“. The aim of this video was to show the great community we have here in Pres and we all agree that Racism is unacceptable in our society. We would to extend our thanks to all teachers that took part for both their enthusiasm in the filming and photos and their dedication to the campaign so we can “Show Racism the Red Card“ Robert Barry 3 A. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfmG7FmRuIY Authors: Robert Barry (3A), Mr. Brian Casey.

Hard luck to our U-16.5 hurlers who lost the county final today to Coachford at UCC sports grounds in the Mardyke. It was a very close game up until the closing minutes when the opposition managed to pull away. Our boys can be very proud of their performance and we look forward to seeing them represent the school at senior hurling level in the years to come.
Science in the News

More than 300 million tons of plastic waste are produced annually, which causes serious environmental issues because of plastic's life cycle and the difficulty of eliminating it. Consequently, most plastic waste ends up in either a landfill or the ocean. A significant number of plastics break down into micro-plastics, which are ingested by fish and other marine life causing havoc to marine ecosystems. In Journal of Renewable and Sustainable Energy, by AIP Publishing, researchers from California State Polytechnic University report using catalytic pyrolysis to turn plastic wastes into a valuable fuel source. Pyrolysis is the thermochemical decomposition of carbon-based matter in the absence of oxygen. The catalytic process used in this experiment on plastic waste could also be used to process other wastes, such as manure, municipal solid waste, and used engine oil, to make usable energy products. The researchers found the pyrolysis product was very similar to a standard diesel fuel product, and they will try to optimise diesel fuel production from various mixed plastic wastes. Of course, this has huge ramifications for sustainability and the stability of our ecosystems with the removal of these plastic pollutants!
PRES MOVEMBER MERCY CAMPAIGN

The annual Movember campaign in Pres is now up and running. Movember is an international campaign to raise awareness of and funds for male cancers, specifically testicular and prostate cancer, and mental health. Now in its tenth year, our annual campaign in Pres encourages a conversation amongst the school community about these issues and all funds raised are donated directly to the Mercy Foundation Cancer Appeal. One in six men will be affected by cancer in their lifetimes and the school’s donations continue to make a valuable contribution to cancer research locally. As in previous years, we are encouraging all students and staff with the ability to cultivate a mo, and all with the means to contribute, to get on board with this year's campaign and to give generously. We are hopeful that after last year's hiatus as a result of pandemic restrictions, Dr. Derek Power will again return to speak to our senior students about his work and the steps that our young men can take to keep themselves safe. Please visit gofund.me/f19f6b70 to donate to this very worthy local cause. Sincerest thanks in advance for your generosity.

To celebrate Science week we are holding a family competition to build the best paper bridge. Build the best bridge and win prizes! To enter the competition please send a picture bridge along with the family members involved in the construction to forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=CX1U6K0-lka2Nz_F5KstpgJkga3aO5tIinDKfO-4yupUOE9LUDFMR0xIWFpHRFJUSjVaMDZTWENWTy4u Material requirements A4 paper, sellotape, scissors and string. Competition 1: Build a bridge of maximum span that can hold 1kg (e.g. bag of sugar, litre of water). The weight must be at the centre of the bridge. The bridge must only be supported from underneath at the ends of the bridge. The bridge can only rest on the support and cannot be fixed to it by any method. Competition 2: Build a bridge of 60cm span that can hold a maximum load. The weight must be at the centre of the bridge. The bridge must only be supported from underneath at the ends of the bridge. The bridge can only rest on the support and cannot be fixed to it by any method. See example image.
