There's Something Fishy

in Terenure

By Darragh and Cormac

Last Friday the 7^th of December, we travelled to Swords to meet the winners of the first national Something Fishy competition. 160 schools took part and the two winners were St Joseph ’s BNS, Terenure of Dublin and St. Joseph ’s, Culleens of Sligo. They had both done amazing projects but in the end the judges could not choose one winner. Both schools were awarded two hundred euro and a digital microscope. The school from Sligo are going to buy an aquarium with their prize money and we donated the money to Airfield Trust for further conservation of our wildlife and river habitat.

The Central Fishery Board showed everyone a small bit of the huge Dublin school’s project and the entire Sligo school’s project.

Dublin footballer Mark Vaughan made a speech along with the principals of both schools and representatives from the Central Fisheries Board.

After there was a buffet and television interviews by ‘The Den’. Mark Vaughan signed autographs and everyone received a goody bag before we headed for  home.
