31/01/2018         Chemistry comes alive @ SVSS!

31/1/2018

 
Angela McGlynn from CIT presented SVSS Chemistry students and their teacher Ms. Dodd with a practical  workshop entitled Spectroscopy in a Suitcase. The students used spectroscopy to identify a sample of material found at a fictitious crime scene and to solve a crime. The practical application of chemistry and the use of the spectrometers connected the students to the application of chemistry in real life. Spectroscopy in a Suitcase is a project funded by the Royal Society of Chemistry.   This excellent event supports the study of STEM subjects in SVSS.

31/01/2018  SVSS Students Attend Study Seminar in CIT

31/1/2018

 
Fifth year students @ SVSS  attended a study seminar in CIT recently. As a result, the students gained a valuable insight into the world of study and how the mind works in processing and disseminating information. A series of fast paced workshops enabled the students to explore a range of topics associated with improving their  study techniques.  They learnt how to maintain a healthy body and brain, and how the brain remembers information. They used assistive technology to enhance their learning. All agreed it was an invaluable insight into developing study skills which will stand them in good stead for their Leaving Certificate and for study at third level. Students were accompanied by their Study Skills teacher, Ms. Dodd.

28/01/2018   SVSS Students Participate in IWISH Conference 2018

28/1/2018

 
SVSS TY students attended the annual IWISH Conference in Cork City Hall recently, where they met some of the most inspirational women working in the world of STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics).
The core message of the event was to inspire, encourage and motivate young female students to carry on STEM subjects to Leaving Certificate level and beyond, in order to keep job opportunities in this sector open to them.
“I WISH is about debunking the myths and showcasing the opportunities out there, but it is also very much about building confidence and helping the girls realise that they are capable of doing anything they put their minds to” co-founder of the event Ms. Gillian Keating said.  She continued “Year on year, the girls tell us they want careers where they will be making an impact and helping people. What they don’t see is that the best building block to improving people’s lives is through STEM.”
                          TY students from SVSS, with their Business Teacher, Mr. J. Deane                                                                                           were very happy to be part of this event.
