10A Biology students took their learning into the great outdoors today to master ecological sampling techniques. In the open lawn and the shade of the woodland, they’ve been busy identifying species and measuring biodiversity in our own backyard🌳🌼🪻@st_colmans
J2E recently said goodbye to their dear friend and classmate, Conor Fitzgibbon, who's embarking on a new adventure with his family in Dallas, Texas. We're excited to catch up with him soon and hear all about his escapades!
