The final of the Intel Mini-Scientist competition took place in Intel in Leixlip on December 2nd. It was a great occasion with the Minister of Education in attendance. The six girls were wonderful representatives for our school and enjoyed the experience. Thanks to Sr Catherine for driving us to Intel and being a great support to the children.

Please donate toys, children’s books, games, DVDs, fresh cakes (Extra cakes please as we ran out last year!). No adult books, unsuitable DVDs, clothes or perishable items please. Fresh cakes can be donated the day before or on the day itself. Any child who donates cakes will receive raffle tickets to win a prize!
Children can continue to bring in donations every day this week until the Bazaar. Donations must be in a bag with the child’s name on it. They will then be given a raffle ticket and could win a prize on the day of the Bazaar.
On November 17th five classes participated in a science exhibition in our school hall – Ms Cunnane’s and Ms Nallen’s 4th classes and Ms Harrington’s, Mr Gilmartin’s and Mr Carty’s 6th classes.
There were 23 projects on display. Intel’s three judges were very impressed with the high standard of all the projects.
The project Do you know your music by Reece Bolger and Kerry O’Connor was highly commended.
Two of the other projects, Suspension Bridges and Rob the Robot will go forward to the Grand Final on Friday December 2nd which is taking place at Intel Ireland.
We wish them success.
