Year 9 Students Visit the BT Young Scientist Exhibition

January 18, 2011

Students from 09/100,09/6, 09/96 and 09/64 were taken to the RDS in Dublin on Friday 14^th of January, to The BT Young Scientist exhibition.

It was very exciting and there was so much to see. Pupils and teachers attended a 3D film on The Universe, where rockets and satellites appeared to be launched over their heads and were treated to a live “Robot Wars” show. Many of the stands had interactive activities, all of which our pupils took advantage and everyone came home with lots of cool free samples.

It was an excellent experience for everyone.

St Paul’s High School is a thriving, innovative educational community of almost 1500 students of all abilities, from children with learning difficulties in our Learning Support Centre to high calibre academic achievers in our AS, A2 and Applied Post-16 courses. All classrooms are equipped as standard with interactive whiteboards, and students and staff are encouraged to make the fullest use of technology for learning and teaching.

The school, which was established in 1966 with the aim of providing its pupils with a Christian education within the Catholic ethos, is situated on a modern campus in pleasant rural surrounding in the townland of Carrickbracken, County Armagh. St Paul’s High School was designated by the Department of Education as a Specialist College for Science in 2008, and the school was awarded the BECTA ICT Mark in 2009.
