Killarney

<h3>Students have proved that they are bright sparks when it comes to science after winning two awards.</h3>
The now Fifth Year students from Killarney Community College entered projects in the local SciFest competition when in Transition Year under the direction of their science teacher Michelle Brosnan.
They began the projects during lockdown and continued once back in the classroom with the help of teacher Maire Spillane.
Entries were received from schools all over Kerry and the prizes were awarded by MTU in Tralee.
&#8220;The prizes were recently delivered to the school and given to students,&#8221; teacher M&aacute;ire Spillane, from Killarney Community College, said. &#8220;We had one very successful project being awarded prizes in not just one but two categories!&#8221;
The three students are Rachel Griffin, Luke O&#8217;Sullivan and Liam Waldron. Their project was on &lsquo;The Deterioration of Information through Linear Communication&rsquo;. The students&#8217; project involved observing how messages decay as they are passed from person to person.
&#8220;The two categories they won prizes in were the &lsquo;Accenture Maths in Science Award&rsquo; and they were a major award winner and in the &lsquo;Intermediate Life Sciences&rsquo; category, they were awarded second place!&#8221; she said.
&#8220;The students received certificates, an One4all voucher and an amazing glass trophy for their efforts. The Science department and all at Killarney Community College are very proud of their accomplishments.&#8221;
