Discover Primary Science & Maths Award

​ 2022

We are proud to have been awarded our third Discover Primary Science and

Maths Plaque of STEM. 
​
​

STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths. The

programme is run by Science Foundation Ireland and the European Space

Agency. It aims to increase interest in science, technology, engineering and

mathematics (STEM) among students, teachers and members of the public.



The following is the feedback from Science Foundation Ireland on our

logbook of evidence:


Congratulations to Bishop O'Brien NS ! You have been successful in your

application for the SFI PLAQUE of STEM.

Well done on a really wonderful submission. Every step has been clearly

presented,  the format was easy to navigate so it has been a pleasure to

assess. It is obvious that there is passion and enthusiasm for STEM in the

school and full credit is due to the teachers who taught and documented

all the scientific learning in the school. There are so many highlights in

the submission but I thought the Living Things Strand was incredible

showing learners engaged in investigating eyes, teeth and digestion.....futures

in medicine! It was lovely to see the learners recording temperature in the

Energy & Forces Strand as recording is a valuable scientific skill. As you

pointed out in the submission the visit of the engineer to the classes

allowed the learners to understand the skills and dispositions needed to

become an engineer. You so rightly deserve the award. Maybe next time

consider applying for the BADGE. It is a higher level of award where the

whole school community including pupils, teachers and parents are

involved in raising STEM awareness in the school. You would be well up for

this challenge. Enjoy your success and keep up the good work.



A huge thank you to everyone for supporting the work of the DPSM

Programme.
