5th year Home Economics

5th year Home Economics students carried out sensory analysis testing on 6th years Home Economics students.
Group 1 tested crisps. Could students tell the difference between different brands. Interestingly they tasted the exact same according to the 6th years but they could tell the difference based on colour.
Group 2 tested branded orange squash vs unbranded to see which had the best flavour. The unbranded came out on top.
Group 3 tested taste buds to see if students could tell which coca cola was diet, zero and full sugar. 6th years were very confident going into this test but unfortunately not one was successful.
Group 4 tried different flavours of cookie dough ice cream. The cheaper brand won out.
It was a very enjoyable experience. Well done to the  5th year class who put in a lot of work to make it a success.

Our First and Second Year students enjoyed a fantastic day at Adventure World in UL!

They took part in a wide range of exciting activities including Olympic handball, dodgeball, obstacle courses, the wrecking ball, waterslides, ‘last one standing’, and swimming 🏐💦🎯
It was a wonderful opportunity for students to build friendships, have fun, and unwind together. A perfect way to finish a successful academic year and recharge ahead of the summer assessments 🌟📚

Transition Year Trip

To mark the end of their TY experience we had our final trip last Wednesday to climb Moylusa in Co. Clare and go swimming in Lough Derg at Two-mile gate. This also went towards their Gaisce President’s award. We had a great day, with fabulous weather perfect for hiking. The students all did very well and made it to the top in good time. The views of Lough Derg were well worth the effort and the swim was very welcome when we came back down the mountain. A great way to end their TY experience. Well done to all!!
