Our 3rd Year students recently had a fantastic Study Skills Workshop!🤩

Students were taught really useful study techniques, which will be of great benefit as they approach their mocks in the new year. Thanks to Mr Fiorentini for facilitating it 😊

@MichaelFiorent8 @LaoireO This is something like we discussed... @Mikekav66 @Dek0h looks great. A great addition for investigations

Just back from a lovely few days in Lombardy with this great group. We are part of an Irish community of teachers & scientists working on how we might approach contentious topics in our teaching related to sustainability and climate change?

Last week, we also had our TY Graduation! Our TY group had a fantastic year, and they fully immersed themselves in the many projects, programmes, and trips that they participated in. It was certainly a year filled with memories made for life 🥰

Deadly Photos @hexagonlinks !!

[Sinead Kelly Townsend @hexagonlinks]

When students @StOliversCC give so much effort to a project, it is so rewarding to see their devoplments. More photos to follow.........The future is bright for plant biology... Love a stomata. @MichaelFiorent8 @Mikekav66 @Dek0h @AmandaDuggan18 😍

@hfcsrathcoole @accsirl @GlenamaddyCS @OldBawnCS @PDST_LCA @PdstTy This has been such a massive learning opportunity for our students. Adam and Alicia are still beaming after the day. Thanks HFCS for having us part of the collaboration, here’s hoping it’s the 1st of many 🌟

[Michael Fiorentini @MichaelFiorent8]

A Fantastic event. @hfcsrathcoole LCA1's had an opportunity to present on their ongoing Horticulture project with @OldBawnCS to staff and students from @accsirl schools.🌻💐🌼

6th YR @hfcsrathcoole students carried out some lovely plant dissections to see the reproductive structures of the flowering plant. @PdstStem #LCbiology

[Holy Family CS, Rathcoole @hfcsrathcoole]

Our LCA1 students, as part of their collaborative "Planting the Seeds of Community" project, were welcomed very warmly to @OldBawnCS yesterday! 🌼

They delivered their Daffodils that were planted back in January, & collaborated with OBCS students to plant sunflowers 🌻🤩

Our @hfcsrathcoole LCA1 students had a wonderful visit to @OldBawnCS yesterday. Where our students took part in a lovely collaborative workshop planting sunflowers. They got to deliver the daffodils they all planted back in January.

[Ursula McCabe @UrsulaMcCabe17]

The perks of being principaI! I received these beautiful daffodils from my LCA class. They were grown as part of a poly tunnel partner project with @hfcsrathcoole and @OldBawnCS A big thanks to the ladies. A bright start to my day 💫 #Sustainability @an_cosan #tallaghtfund

Are you a student science teacher? Trinity & UCD Schools of Education are running workshops on April 15 in UCD in physics, chemistry & biology. There's also a talk on global citizenship education and a chance to mingle! All are welcome. Contact me or @mairead_hurley to attend

[Shane Bergin @shanedbergin]

Great to form community around sustainability in education. This wonderful group of scientists, teachers, student teachers, designers, and education researchers have been working hard today & yesterday in @SchoolofEdUCD. It’s been a blast & is the beginning of a great adventure

[Michael Fiorentini @MichaelFiorent8]

Really excited to be part of this community. Some really transformative ideas discussed over the past two days around sustainability! #edutwitter @SchoolofEdUCD #stem
