Our 3rd Year students recently had a fantastic Study Skills Workshop!🤩 Students were taught really useful study techniques, which will be of great benefit as they approach their mocks in the new year. Thanks to Mr Fiorentini for facilitating it 😊 #hfcsrathcoole #studyskills

Did you know that the size of an animal’s ears is governed by how close it lives to the equator? Find out more about the weirdest rules of evolution and how they can predict how life will adapt to a warmer world.

A handful of “rules” govern how evolution shapes life on Earth, from island gigantism to colours shifting with latitude – and offer clues about how animals and plants might adapt to a warming world

@MichaelFiorent8 @LaoireO This is something like we discussed... @Mikekav66 @Dek0h looks great. A great addition for investigations
Did you know that squeezing water from moss and observing it under a light microscope can reveal a world of tiny organisms living within? From unicellular organisms to rotifers and tardigrades, the variety is amazing! 🌱🔬 https://t.co/G2rpZxm5gt

Just back from a lovely few days in Lombardy with this great group. We are part of an Irish community of teachers & scientists working on how we might approach contentious topics in our teaching related to sustainability and climate change?

Last week, we also had our TY Graduation! Our TY group had a fantastic year, and they fully immersed themselves in the many projects, programmes, and trips that they participated in. It was certainly a year filled with memories made for life 🥰 #tygrad

Our @hfcsrathcoole LCA1 students had a wonderful visit to @OldBawnCS yesterday. Where our students took part in a lovely collaborative workshop planting sunflowers. They got to deliver the daffodils they all planted back in January.
