Congratulations !!!!!
Fifth class represented the school in the national final of the Xperience Engineering Competition with their project on 'Flood Alleviation'. Only 20 schools from all over Ireland won the opportunity to compete at the Helix in Dublin on June 9th.
After a trip to Bandon Fire Station the class decided to focus on pumps, which saved Bandon on January 15th 2011. On June 9th five lucky boys represented the school and presented their model of Bandon Town. The Boys flooded the town and then pumped it dry again. Flood defences create a safer and more sustainable future for the people of Bandon.

From Dancing raisins in junior infants to electrical quizzes in sixth class, the judges were very impressed by the hardwork of teachers and students. Well Done Boys !
3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th class visited the lifetime lab where they learned all about Science. We learned all about electricity, magnetism, dissolving and map reading. See our pictures ...
