Our Second & Third Year students visited Fota Wildlife Park recently as part of their Science Ecology curriculum.
They completed the Practical Field Ecology course. The course covers all aspects of the Biology module and also allows students time to explore the Park after completing their Woodland survey.
Our Transition Year Chemistry class took part in a workshop and guided tour of Janssen Pharmaceutical (Johnson and Johnson) in Little Island.
It was organised by Junior Achievement Ireland for International Mens Day.
Many thanks to Janssen Pharmaceutical for the opportunity to take part in the workshop.

Aidan Mamo Cooney and I from Coláiste an Spioraid Naoimh have been lucky enough to be picked to represent our school and county at the 2018 SciFest National Final after winning our regional round in Cork Institute of Technology – CIT.
As part of this final we have made a video to share the results of our project. We are really proud of what we have achieved and its results.
Our project aims to reduce waiting lists for young people for access to vital mental health services. Using source data from HSE Ireland we analysed to optimum way to allocate resources.
We really want to share our findings and we would really appreciate it if you voted for our video and shared the link! You can vote once a day for the rest of the month.
Thanks very much,
