TCS Success at the BT Young Scientist Exhibition 2012.

Well done to the fifth year students Lorna Hayden, Natasha McCauley and Holly Tyrell who reached the finals for the BT Young Scientist Exhibition for 2012.

Lorna and Natasha did very well in the Chemical, Physical and Mathematical group with their project entitled '‘Switch or Stick? The Monty Hall Dilemma Investigated’.

Holly Tyrrell also entered the Social and Behavioural Sciences group with her project ‘To promote a positive attitude toward, and raise awareness of, the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease’.

Congratulations to Holly on winning second place in the Social and Behavioural Sciences for Senior Individuals.

It was a wonderful achievement to reach the BT Young Scientist Finals. Well done girls.

TCS Students rock climbing in Inchicore.

Since the days have gotten shorter the Adventure club have migrated indoors to continue their adventurous activities. So far we’ve been rock climbing in one of the largest indoor rock climbing centres in Ireland, Gravity Climbing Centre. With a great discounted student price we were able to get the rental of shoes and excellent instructors all for a mere 7 euro…class.

Majority of students going have been 6th year but we are more than happy to include any senior students. The group was a mixed group – it  was great to see the girls once again getting involved and with the whole afternoon of climbing ahead of us we were very excited. Initially the climbing was slow for some as it was a new experience but with instructors there to help, within minutes TCS students were crawling all over the walls like an ant farm. Nothing was too difficult for students and everybody began tackling the advanced climbs with enthusiasm and success.
