Congratulations to TY students Daniel Blanchfield, Craig O'Hare and Aaron Hayes for their wonderful achievement in gaining 2nd place in the 'Intermediate Technology' group section in this years Young Scientist competition.

Also representing St. Aidan's in the finals were Ciaran Tuohy, Sean Gibson and Andrew Salter, with their project "Taking Hepatitis C Detection In a New Direction"

Ms. Peoples and Ms. McCormick can be justifiably proud after a great showing from both St. Aidan's teams. This is another fine success for Mr. Noel Duffy and the Transition Year program.
