The Agricultural Science Dept. made the very best of this week’s beautiful weather when they visited the Ploughing Championships, Tuesday 17th Sept. 53 students were accompanied by teachers Mr Holton, Ms McCauley, Ms Stagg, Ms G O'Rourke and Ms Finnegan to Fenagh, Co. Carlow. The Ag. Science contingent left bright and early from school at 7.30 am to make the most of the day and spent the day observing and exploring various animals and Agri stalls. Some students even managed to hitch a lift on a tractor and trailer as well as witnessing President Michael D. Higgins’ opening address. The tired but happy crew arrived back to school for 16.00 pm on the dot.
