What a day it has been for a number of first year students at Mary Immaculate Secondary School who took part in this year’s virtual BT Young Scientist and Technology exhibition.

They all completed their project on time and produced excellent reports. The projects were of such high standard that four awards were taken back to Lisdoonvarna.
