Delighted to inform you that all of our efforts in science, technology, engineering and maths has awarded us the very prestigious Platinum Award in STEM.
Huge thank you to all the pupils, parents, visiting speakers and staff for engaging with this initiative so well.
We received some wonderful feedback:
“Congratulations to all in Holy Family National School on achieving a well-deserved SFI Curious Minds Platinum award. Your log was very well presented on your website. It was easy to get a sense of the great range of wonderful STEM activities that pupils were engaged in throughout the year and the interconnections between the STEM subjects. You had a great range of photographs, and it was fantastic to see the inclusion of samples of the pupils planning and recording sheets, such as in the investigation to find the warmest part of the room. It was particularly good to see the design process so clearly presented by the 5th class in their engineering projects which were then showcased through their clear and very informative PowerPoint presentations. The showcase day was well planned, and the senior pupils looked very confident when showcasing their work to the younger classes. I'm sure that was a fun and engaging experience for all involved.”
