Some highlights below of Science Week 2017
First Year "Egg Drop"
Well done to all involved - constructing masterpieces that survived their flight from GP balcony down to the floor....CRACK!
Our First Years also attended a Science Magic Show (run by University of Limerick) in October where they had the opportunity to see lots of fun Science in action in their lab class.
Second Year "Sponge Bob Genetic Quiz" and DNA Construction
Our Second years constructed edible D.N.A and D.N.A 3D models that we showcased on our Open Night last Tuesday to our incoming students in 2018. The quiz reinforced our learning on Genetic Crosses. Our students also demonstrated the Kiwi chromosome extraction experiment at our open night.
2017 ISTA Senior Science Quiz
Congratulations to our Senior ISTA Science Group who represented the School in the regional competition on 16th November. They secured 5th place out of a total of 26 entrants. An amazing achievement.

Well done to Ms. Coughlan and her Office Admin LCA class and also to Ms G. Sullivan and her 5th Yr Computers class who were the first to complete the Science puzzles (all 6 correct!) on Friday.

Many thanks to our 1st and 2nd years who are conducting research on leading Scientists that are showcased in the labs and on our Science notice board. This is an ongoing piece of work!

On Monday, October 9th, TY students together with Mr. Fahy, Ms. McCarthy and Mr. Monaghan left Tulla after a very early alarm clock call. The group was lucky enough to get a booking to see Kilmainham Gaol and students and teachers alike were very impressed. The tour guides were passionate about bringing history alive in this building which is so intimately associated with Irish History. The stories of inmates were heart-wrenching and the building itself seemed to echo with their sadness. We were sorry that busy day did not allow even longer to spend at the Gaol.
From there, we crossed the Liffey, to visit the Zoo. Some of us had never visited the Zoo so we were delighted to have a good look around. Then we were taken on an Ecology Workshop in the Phoenix Park. This covered a habitat study, which gave us a great understanding of this section of the Leaving Cert. Biology programme. Thanks to all the teachers who travelled with us.

The TY year accompanied by Mr. Kelly, Mr. Hanrahan and Ms Walsh took a 2 night trip to Achill Island, Co. Mayo last Monday to Wednesday (25th- 27th September). They stayed in 'bean an tí' houses and participated in activities facilitated by Coláiste Acla. They took part in surfing, cliff diving, bog assault courses and kayaking. In the evenings they headed to the céili's where they learned (attempted) to dance and played games as well as the all important 20 minutes phone time! The weather was lovely until Wednesday when the island was soaked but this didn't stop us from having an excellent time. On Wednesday when everyone sat down to a hot bowl of soup to warm up there was an atmosphere of disappointment as we had to head back home after a fantastic 3 days of fun and laughs. Everyone enjoyed the trip and can't wait for another of its kind in the upcoming year.
Chuaigh na daltaí ón idirbhlian go hAcaill le triúir múinteoirí ón scoil- An t-Uasal Ó Ceallaigh, An t-Uasal Ó hAnracháin agus Iníon Breathnach Dé Luan seo caite. Mhair an turas ar feadh trí lá. D'fhanamar sna tithe le mna tí ón ceantar. Ghlacamar páirt sna himeachtaí ar nós surfáil, cadhcáil, pleidhchíocht poirteacht agus tumadh. Chuamar go dtí coláiste gach tráthnóna chun damhsa céilithe a fhoghlaim. D'imríomar cluiche spraoi agus don fiche nóiméad deireanach fuaireamar ár bhfóin. Bhí an aimsir go maith go dtí Dé Céadaoin nuair a bhí an hOileáin ar maos leis an báisteach a thit tharr an oíche ach níor chuir sé sin isteach orainn. Nuair a shuíomar síos don babhla anlann tráthnónna Céadaoin bhí saghas díomá ar gach duine mar bhí sé in am dul abhaile. Bhain gach duine taiteanamh as an turas agus táimid ag súil leis an chéad turas eile!
le Saoirse Boyce, Dearbhla Creaven agus Emma Cooper.
