It’s been a busy and enjoyable Science Week @ SVSS. Our first years participated in a challenging Science Quiz, while the second and third years used their knowledge of the Periodic Table to write positive messages for well-being and solve cartoon problems. The senior biologists were challenged by a biology cartoon based quiz and the TY group made a presentation to first years of their work on The Science and Art of Illusions.
On Monday, Katie Ward from ALCON made a STEM-based presentation to the senior Biology and Chemistry students about her work in the world of science and the importance of team work. Past pupils, currently working in science, returned to SVSS to share their experiences and career paths with the senior students. They highlighted the range of opportunities, pathways and supports available.
Past pupils Siobhan O’ Halloran, Clodagh Wyse, Rebecca Lyall and Melissa Walsh launched the SVSS Science Wall of Fame Project. Eimear Ferguson, from the Microbiotic Institute, UCC, spoke to students of the many opportunities available in science-based careers and the links between microbes in the gut, food and mental health. The third years launched their initiative to use recycled bottles to build a Christmas tree, as part of their sustainability project.
Thanks to students and Science staff Ms. R. Ferriter, Ms. F. Dodd and Ms. O. McGrath for a great Science Week.
