Academic Competitions and other Co-curricular Activities
Our fifth year students are encouraged to embrace the various in-school
co-curricular activities, quizes and national competitions that are run
throughout the academic year.
In
October, during the annual
Maths Week, NUI Galway run what is called the Senior PRISM challenge. This is
a nationwide challenge run in over 100 second level schools throughout
the country. The results of this challenge are compiled by NUI Galway
and presented on the PRISM website.
The
Maths department organise prizes for the top students at both Junior
and Senior levels. Later in the year all our fifth year students
will be given the chance to take part in the annual Hamilton maths

All our fifth year students are
also invited to attend the various extra-curricular lectures, demonstrations and videos
that will be organised in the Demo room at various stages throughout the academic year.
