Technology tournament at St Mary’s

Over 100 pupils and 11 schools were represented at the competition and it was highly successful day for those involved. This competition organised by the Technology and Design Department in St. Mary’s is one of many events developed with Rotary International. Rotary is a worldwide network of inspired men and women who translate their passions into relevant social causes, to change lives in communities. Made up of over 1.2 million Rotary members - known as Rotarians - in 34,000 Rotary clubs in 200 countries and geographical areas around the world, Rotary International forms a global network of business, professional and community leaders who volunteer their time and talents to serve communities locally and around the world - and form strong, lasting friendships in the process. Head of Technology and Design, Mrs Michaela Quinn commented that, “it was fantastic to see so much enthusiasm and passion from young people for the area of Technology and Design while at the same time raise awareness for an extremely worthwhile organization”.

The winning team were St. Mary’s own pupils from Year 10, Grainne Cooke, Sinead Gormley, Harry McLaughlin and Damian Mitchell.
