l.Congratulations to our Under 12 quiz team who won the South Mayo Credit Union quiz last Friday evening in St Colman's College. The children received the Credit Union shield and a €500 prize for the school.The team was made up of 5th & 6th class pupils: Oisín Watson, Lyla Kenny, Naoise Burke & Billy Donnellan. They will take part in the Mayo final in the coming weeks.
The under 11 team consisting of Catherine Ryan, Felim O'Connor, Kerrie Nestor, and Eleanor Coyne came 2nd and received €300 for the school.
Both teams worked really well with their teacher Mr. Burke in the weeks leading up to the quiz.
We wish them every success in the next round of the competition.

.Ms Roche’s 5th class have been busy preparing for the VEX Robotics competition since September. VEX is an exciting, fun robotics programme which engages children in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM). The programme involves designing, building and programming a robot and driving it to complete various challenges on the constructed arena.
The class competed in the VEX competition on Friday 13th January in ATU Galway. The class had a magnificent day competing against other schools around Mayo and Galway. It was a fantastic experience attending the university and being able to present and drive their unique robot in team challenges. The class would like to thank Thermoking for sponsoring the Robot kits and the teachers involved - Ms Roche, Ms Culhane and Ms Henry.
We are very proud of 5th class’ hard work and dedication to this project. They represented themselves and the school extremely well at the event.
