Hazelwood College Excitement for Science Week 2013!

Science Week Ireland 2013 was celebrated at Hazelwood with the Fifth Annual Primary Schools’ Science Quiz on Thursday, November 14th. All local primary schools were invited to attend this exciting event to promote Science Week. It was wonderful to welcome all of the primary school pupils, teachers, parents and friends who attended on the night. During ten rounds of questioning all of the primary pupils thoroughly impressed with their teamwork and knowledge. Spectacular lucky dip spot prizes and tasty, fruity refreshments were very popular among the eager pupils at the half-time break. As the quiz came to a close, excitement was high as the top three placed teams emerged. In a nail biting finale, there was a tie-breaker to decide first and second place. Congratulations to Killoughteen National School who were overall winners, with Raheenagh coming in second place and Dromina in third place. Thank you and well done to all the teams from Broadford, Feenagh, Ballingarry, Newtownshandrum, Ballyagran, Milford and Dromcollogher who took part on the night and Hazelwood looks forward to seeing you next year!
