STEM

We are delighted to have received a Platinum Award from SFI Curious Minds for our work in STEM this year. This award was the result of a team effort, with all classes in the school and parents playing a role.

The following is the judges' feedback:

"Congratulations to the teachers and learners in St. Brigid's and St. Patrick's NS. You have achieved a Curious Minds Platinum Award.

There is a great range and variety of activities shown for the year. I am amazed at the amount of work you have presented.

The learners are all obviously enjoying their STEM activities and their participation is very obvious in all four areas. The presentation of the work is 1st class and the commentary from the learners is most informative. It is good to see the learners presenting their work to the parents. It certainly fits in with your aims for the parents for your platinum award.

You laid out your objectives for the three groups very well. The reflections supplied show you were successful in achieving what you set out to do. There is no doubt about the sincerity of the feedback from all groups. Parents, teachers and learners have complete buy-in to and understanding of STEM. I hope that you all will be able to maintain and build on this success.

Well done to all and keep up the great effort."
