Congratulations to 2nd year students, Dara Courtney, Sean Clerkin & Joshua Brandon who received their excellence in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) Award for their project “A Four Seasons Photovoltaic Self-Charging Rover – the Mars PSR”. The project generated plenty of interest on the day from the judges, the general public and Richard Bruton, TD. 

The students have been working on the Mars PSR for months and started by designing and making a protype using equipment found at home or in the lab. Then the second prototype design was completed on Solidworks. For the National Final Sean decided to impress the judges more by learning how to use a new CAD programme called Onshape to design the 3rd prototype of the Mars PSR. They decided to use solar cells on this design. Solar energy is often used to power space missions because it is the only source of energy that does not need to be launched with the spacecraft and can power the spacecraft for several years. Joshua ensured that the solar cells were working to power the PSR. Screenshot 20221126 074935 02

While relying on solar panels may seem risky in such a dusty environment on Mars but doing so lessens the amount of mass at launch, lowering cost and complication for the mission and therefore they decided to use solar cells, Joshua ensured they were wired up properly in order to function. It was decided that they needed to make some type of a vacuum system that would blow off the dust that clogs around the moving parts. NASA have had limited success themselves with this idea, but the students wanted to try something anyway and Dara made various protypes of hoover systems that could attach to a Mars Rover. The first two prototypes were designed to suck the dust from the Rover but the 3rd prototype for the final was reconstructed so that it would blow the dust from the solar panels. The finished design also included a microbit to take temperature, light intensity readings and a compass. 

The project had already won the ‘ESERO Discover Space Award’ and ‘Scifest 2022 Runner-Up Best Project Award’ in Dundalk I.T back in April, when they were only in 1st year, which was a remarkablet. achievement.Screenshot 20221126 074941 01 01Screenshot 20221126 074941 01

Largy College Science Week 2022

For Science week the 1st year students completed a project based on one of the new Junior Cycle Learning Outcomes: ‘Students should be able to design, build and test a device that transforms energy from one form to another in order to perform a function; describe the energy changes and ways of improving efficiency’. The projects were of an excellent standard. The winners from each class were presented with their trophies and the overall winner was presented with the perpetual shield. There was also a quiz for 1st years in their classes and various other activities with prizes given for all.

The 2nd year students completed a project based on one of the new Junior Cycle Learning Outcomes also: ‘Students should be able to develop and use a model of the Earth-sun-moon system to describe predictable phenomena observable on Earth, including seasons, lunar phases, and eclipses of the sun and moon’. The projects were of an excellent standard with all students in the year producing finished pieces. The winners from each class and overall winners were presented with their trophies. There was also a quiz for 2nd years in their classes and various other activities with prizes given for all. Congratulations to all the winners of the quizzes –

Congratulations to Ciara Clerkin who won the 4th to 6th year category of the National Final of Scratch 2022 organised by the Irish Computer Society (ICS) which took place on Wednesday 18th May in the Computer Science Building of the University of Limerick.

Scratch is a visual programming language that encourages the development of essential coding skills through fun and interactive learning. It challenges students to create stories, games and animations using software. It encourages innovation and creativity while giving them a taste of possible future careers in the growing IT sector. Ciara made an educational game called Lieutenant Leek. This is a game that can be used by teachers and parents when trying to encourage healthy eating from the food pyramid with children. You play as Lieutenant Leek, a leek whose goal is to reach the top of the food pyramid to put a stop to the sugary foes wreaking havoc across the food pyramid. Each level is based on each stage of the food pyramid, which Leek needs to collect the daily requirements for. Sugar cubes block his path, he must knock them off the stage by shooting tomatoes at them to proceed!

Ciara was delighted with her win, “I plan to go to college next year to study computing and games development so I would like to express my gratitude to the The Irish Computer Society and Lero for running and sponsoring this competition because it has further inspired me to keep studying in the last few weeks of 6th Year towards my goal and it has encouraged me to make more games!”.

 Ciara was interviewed by two Scratch judges about her project, and she had to be prepared to answer questions about her game. Ciara’s game generated great interest from other students at the competition and she had queues waiting to play it on the day which would have impressed the judges too! Congratulations Ciara, this was a remarkable achievement, and we wish you the best of luck as you prepare for your Leaving Cert exams in a few weeks’ time.

TY Students enjoyed an adventurous day exploring the Marble Arch Caves. The amazing underground limestones caves in the Marble Arch Global Geopark are made from 330-million-year-old limestone and have several water reserves and rivers running through them. Scientists have explained this network of caves as a natural passage created when water dissolved the soft limestone rock of Fermanagh, from the Owenbrean, Aghinrawn and Shruh Croppa rivers of Ireland. This process also created stalactites and stalagmites within the caves; cone shaped rocks that have taken millions of years to form. For our TY Geography students this brought their studies of Limestone and Carbonation to life. Our students completed the afternoon with a hike of Cuilcagh Boardwalk Trail, also nicknamed the Stairway to Heaven Walk which is located in Co. Fermanagh. The route meanders through one of the largest expanses of blanket bog in Northern Ireland, traversing over tracks, boardwalk and staircase. A steep climb is required to reach the viewing platform on Cuilcagh Mountain which provides breath taking views of the surrounding low lands. All students felt a great sense of achievement and enjoyment with the completion of the day’s activities.

Largy College scoop top awards at Scifest 2022 in DKIT

Three 1st year students: Dara Courtney, Sean Clerkin & Joshua Brandon entered Scifest this year which took place in Dundalk IT on Tuesday 10th May. Schools from all around the region assembled in the Institute of Technology and set up their projects. The students then had to present their projects to several judges.

Dara, Sean and Joshua had a project entitled “A Four Seasons Photovoltaic Self-Charging Rover – the Mars PSR”, on display on the day. We were absolutely delighted when it was announced that their project won the ‘ESERO Discover Space Award’. Furthermore, the students also scooped one of the biggest awards ‘The Scifest 2022 Runner-Up Best Project Award’! Despite Largy’s successes in the past in this competition – it was a remarkable achievement this time for 1st years to win these awards. By winning the runner up award this means that the students now qualify to have their project considered for participation in the Scifest 2022 National Final which will be held on 25th November in the Marino Conference Centre in Dublin. Some of the judge’s comments on the day were: “very impressive well thought out project and was presented excellently”, “very informed and well researched project” and “excellent prototyping and assembly”.

As a group they all share one common interest and that is anything that is Earth and Space related! They decided to do a project in some way related to Mars – which seems to be the buzz ‘go-to’ planet now! Mars is one of the most explored bodies in our solar system, and it's the only planet where we have sent rovers to roam the alien landscape. What inspired them to make this vehicle was the current expedition of the NASA Perseverance Mars Rover.

The students have been working on the Mars PSR for months and started by designing and making a protype using equipment found at home or in the lab. Then the final design was completed on Solidworks. They decided to use solar cells on this design. Solar energy is often used to power space missions because it is the only source of energy that does not need to be launched with the spacecraft and can power the spacecraft for several years. While relying on solar panels may seem risky in such a dusty environment on Mars but doing so lessens the amount of mass at launch, lowering cost and complication for the mission and this is why they decided to use solar cells. It was decided that they needed to make some type of a vacuum system that will blow off the dust that clogs around the moving parts. NASA have had limited success themselves with this idea but the students wanted to try something anyway and made various protypes of hoover systems that could attach to a Mars Rover!

They also made a base from Papier Mache that was the same colour as the surface of Mars and they added some coloured sand to give a close resemblance to the surface of Mars as possible. The Rover is built with materials that will not rust on Mars and it is light weight and will be easily transported to Mars if it were to be a full-scale model. The solar panels were facing all sides for the most sunlight exposure. It’s a 4 season Photovoltaic panel rover so it can take energy from the sun all Martian -year-round. 

Best of luck to Dara, Joshua and Sean if they get through to the National Final. They will be working on their project over the summer months and they should know by October if they have been selected. Excellent achievement – well done!

Delphi Adventure Resort

50 TY and 5th Year students enjoyed a fantastic 3-day residential trip to Delphi Adventure Resort from Wednesday 27th April – Friday 29th April. Delphi Resort is Ireland's leading outdoor activity resort, it is set on a 300 acre site located in the heart of the scenically breath-taking Delphi Valley, near Leenane, Co. Galway, Ireland. Our students participated in activities such as High Ropes, Aerial Trek, Ziplining and Kayaking. The students faced their fears while thoroughly enjoying the experience. The glorious weather was an added bonus to an action-packed wonderful stay.

Largy College Wellbeing Week 2022

 

Largy College’s Prefect Council organised our first “Wellbeing Week” from 4th - 7th May. The purpose of this week was to promote a positive sense of wellbeing for students and staff.

The week started off with “Thankful Tuesday” as students all contributed to a wall display where they listed the things in their lives that they are most grateful for.

Our 3rd Year students had a “Cake and Chats” session in the afternoon while our 5th Years had an indoor picnic. Some of our 5th Year Prefects also played music over the intercom system for the week at lunchtime.

“Wellness Wednesday” saw our 2nd Year students being grouped up (outside their normal friendship groups) to go for a walk and get to know other people within their year a little better. Our 1st Years practiced some mindful colouring and impressed us all with their art work. As it was our shorter school day the Home Economics department kindly shared cooking videos online for students to carry out at home in the afternoon if they wished.

On “Triumphant Thursday” our LCA students took a break from their upcoming interviews, tasks and exams to have some downtime and treats. Four of our TYP students Kylah, Kayla, Sarah and Megan taught our 1st Years the “Saturday Night” dance which they performed as an entire group. An additional dance was performed by 1st Years Chloe, Jessica, Kate and Ruth. Well done to all for this, both videos can be seen on our website.

Wellbeing Week concluded with “Feel Good Friday”, students could nominate a friend (anonymously) who had helped or supported them. There were awards for each year group in this category.

Our TYP students had the opportunity to reflect over the great experiences they have had this year over a cuppa and some treats. Finally, our 6th Year students got a break from their upcoming exams with an afternoon tea.

This was the inaugural year of “Wellbeing Week” in Largy College and hopefully this will be an annual event that we can build on in the years ahead. Thank you to all staff and students for their help in the organising of the week.

The top result in LCA was achieved by Shane Duffy, son of Martin & Nicole Duffy, Drumavaddy, Drum, Co. Monaghan. We are extremely proud of all our Leaving certificate and LCA students who navigated their way through a very challenging year. The excellent results reflect both the ability and dedication that this cohort of students have demonstrated consistently over the last six years. It was particularly satisfying this year as the majority of students engaged either partially or fully with sitting the examinations – so well done to all.

A special thanks to the teaching staff, in particular, for their thorough and meticulous application to the preparation of students for all examinations and the accredited grades process, to school management, our Board of Management and the loyal support from parents.

To everyone in the class of 2021, best wishes and continued success in the future.

Due to current restrictions, the thinking caps were out in full force to come up with a way to have Showtime this year. As luck would have it last year marked 10 years since the inception of the show so it was decided to have a "Champion of Champions" winner. While it was not possible to have the acts back in school, we were in the lucky position to have high quality footage of the ten winners due to the skill and expertise of Panic -Hire and Murphy Video Service. 
 
We were delighted to be able to give our Head and Deputy Head Prefects, Caitlin Connolly and Jim McGuirk, an opportunity to present the show, though through a very different platform. Thanks to the help of Rory McMahon and Matthew Macklin we were able to post a link to the show on Clones Notice Boards. This gave the public an opportunity to vote on who their favourite winning act had been from the last 10 years.
 
You can watch the show here: 
 

Voting

Online vote accounted for 50% of the tally while the other 50% was comprised of votes from the current student body. Students got to view the show on Friday afternoon and then voted for their favourite. 

 Watch the results here:
 
While we hope to return to the traditional format next year, this version ensured that the Showtime tradition continued.
3rd Place - Mamma Mia
2nd Place - Katie Boyle and Catherine Sheridan
1st Place - Reeling in the Years
Well done to all.

Jenny Freeman, daughter of Gabrielle and the late Martin Freeman, Newtownbutler Road, Clones achieved the top result in this year’s Leaving Certificate.

The excellent results reflect both the ability and dedication that this cohort of students have demonstrated consistently over the last six years. A special thanks to the teaching staff, in particular, for their thorough and meticulous application to the calculated grades process, to school management, our Board of Management, Board of Governors and the unwavering support from parents.

To everyone in the class of 2020, best wishes and continued success in the future.

Well done to our seven 6th Year students on becoming Senior Prefects. A special congratulations to our new Head Prefect, Caitlin Connolly and our Deputy Head Prefect, Jim McGuirk. In the context of schools, a prefect is a student who has been given designated responsibilities in the school, similar to the responsibilities given to a hall monitor or safety patrol members.

Prefects have numerous roles that they execute here at Largy, such as acting as a bridge between school teachers and students. Prefects are also tasked with the responsibility of organising activities in collaboration with teachers and promoting positive behaviour in the school community.

Excellent resource for primary and post primary learners. Stay safe everyone.
