Fantastic Award for Patrickswell N.S.

News has just come in that the school has won a very prestigious AWARD OF SCIENCE AND MATHS EXCELLENCE !!!  This is a FIRST for the school! Well done to Ms Ruth Gallagher and her Fifth Class pupils who spearheaded and coordinated the school's application for the award.

The following is an extract from the message received in the school this afternoon from the people at Discover Primary Science and Maths:

'Congratulations -- all your hard work has paid off! Your school has achieved a Discover Primary Science and Maths Award of Science and Maths Excellence for the 2012/13 academic year.
Thanks to all involved for participating; the assessment team were very excited to see all the hard work done by teachers and students. The standard of log books and the wide variety of science and maths work being carried out is very impressive; it is clear that teachers and pupils are using a wide range of resources and engaging in hands-on investigation in the classroom and beyond...
...Your plaque will be sent directly to the school in the next few weeks.
Maths; it IS rocket science!'

Mr. Crowe, when congratulating Ms Gallagher and Fifth Class for their leadership and all their hard work on this major project, told them that the achievement of this award is just as big a deal and just as outstanding as earning a Green Flag for the school!

Isn't GOOD news GREAT!
