Today our TY students Jodie Anthony, Doireann Flannery, Éabha McCaffrey and Nicola Swanton represented SCS at the Semi-Finals of the Young Environmentalist Awards at Cork Waterworks. 

The girls presented their project on food waste and the MyGug anaerobic digester: “Using food to produce food”.  The project involved lots of collaboration from multiple depts such as Sustainability, Home Ec, Woodcraft and Science.

They pitched their project to a panel of 4 judges. Their pitch lasted 7 minutes before a round of questions from the judges. They now have to wait a month before hearing if they have made it through to the final round in Dublin. Best of luck girls! 

Afterwards, we went to the Glucksman Gallery in UCC for a quick visit to the dinosaur exhibit.
