Junior Science Olympiad medals
IThe Junior Science Olympiad is an international science competition. Students are selected for the Irish finals on the basis of their Junior Cert. Science results. The top100 students in the country were invited to enter the Irish Finals. The High School was qualified to enter six finalists, the highest number of finalists from any one school.  The finals were held at DCU on 5 November and consisted of three hours of tests on Science and Maths (and even included sudoko puzzles!). The top nine finalists were awarded medals and two of these went to High School pupils, a silver medal and a bronze. Our silver medallist will now go on, with five students from other schools, to represent Ireland at the International Competition to be held in Indonesia. Our bronze medallist will be on the reserve panel. Congratulations to all who took part.

Simon Community fun run
A big thank you to all those who entered last month. 49 pupils were involved and we collected €3957.45. This is a tremendous amount of money and we would like to thank all who gave up their Sunday afternoon and who worked so hard at collecting sponsorship money, also all those who sponsored them so generously. Well done everybody!
