The Award of Science Excellence

This year, in conjunction with the Discover Primary Science Programme, St. Joseph’s has applied for an Award of Science Excellence. Spearheaded by the two Fifth Classes this involves many children throughout the school taking part in many science activities, experiments, projects and visits. The Discover Primary Science Programme is managed by Forfas on behalf of the Office of Science & Technology at the Department of Enterprise Trade & Employment. The programme aims to develop creativity in our children, show them how important science is to our everyday lives and more importantly how much fun it can be!
