This Summer, while most Junior Cert students will
have their heads out of the schoolbooks, two students from Arklow Community College
will be busy brushing up on their Chemistry at an academic camp in England.
Niamh Cloran-Doyle and Rebecca Lyons have both won
school scholarships to a 3 day residential Salters Chemistry Camp, held in the
University of York from 13th- 15th August. The girls are
really looking forward to spending three days and two nights at the University
of York, staying in the University Halls of Residence, and using the
laboratories. They will carry out new, exciting experiments, and have the
chance to delve into areas of chemistry that are perhaps not covered at school.
In the evenings, practical work in the labs is put on the back burner, and
students will enjoy a variety of social activities like a fun quiz or tenpin
bowling.
This is not the first time Arklow Community College
students have taken part in Chemistry Camps. Previous scholarship winners for
Chemistry Camps in Swansea University and the University of Manchester include
Gary Long, Kyle Connolly-Carey and Brian Ormonde- Murphy.
