Oliver Nash, while a pupil at The High School, attained the astounding achievement of being chosen for TWO of the international olympiad teams to represent Ireland abroad in the same year. As far as we know, this is unprecedented in Ireland.

Oliver was one of 6 students chosen from the 26 counties to represent Ireland in the Maths Olympiad in Taiwan.

He was also one of 4 students chosen from the whole 32 counties of Ireland for the international Physics Olympiad which took place in Iceland. His selection for this team was particularly noteworthy as he had to compete against students from Northern Ireland where the A level system would give them a significant advantage.

Oliver was taught Physics by Mr Richard Davies and Mathematics by Ms Patricia Saville.
