MARCH 2009
Discover Primary Science
Inishowen national schools are being urged to compete for a Science
Excellence Award. Organised by Discover Primary Science Awards of
science Excellence (AoSE) acknowledge the efforts of primary school
children and teachers across Ireland who have shown an increased
knowledge of science and its many applications as a result of participation
in the Discover Primary Science (DPS) programme.
There has been monumental growth in primary schools interest in
the Discover Primary Science programme. Since the programme's inception
in 2004 when approximately 500 schools were registered for the project.
Discover Primary Science now has in excess of 300 schools involved.
Last year over 650 primary schools received Awards of Science Excellence,
representing an increase of almost half of the 2007 figures.
Last year St. Egney's National School, Desertegney, was one of
28 Donegal schools to receive an award.
All primary schools registered for the DPS programme who intend
to make a submission for the Awards of Science Excellence must apply
online at www.primaryscience.ie.
Registered schools applying for an Award of Science Excellence
must keep a discover Log recording their science related work which
must be submitted by 1st May.
The assessment of the Awards of Science Excellence process begins
following the closing date for submissions on 1st May. Registered
schools, who have applied on the website by the end of March, will
receive an application form in the mail, close to the submission
date.
