Shimna's Oustanding Science Results

Shimna Integrated College students of A level biology have carried off outstanding results in the fourteenth British Biology Olympiad. Conor Poland won a Gold Medal, Orla O'Connor a Bronze Medal and Sait Can Ozdemir won High Commendation. The students will attend an award ceremony at Imperial College London. 1800 students entered this year's Olympiad from schools across the country and very high scores were recorded. The awards are the icing on the cake for students who are already achieving the highest grades in their A level modules. Biology teachers Joanne Poland and Anne French are very proud of them.

Some Italian Glamour

Our students of Italian posed for the cameras today in the cause of promoting the Open University YASS scheme through which our students are studying their Italian. V'Cenza and Piera were supported at the photoshoot by their father, and Shimna governor, Victor Cirefice, and by our languages support coordinator, Clare Murphy. That's why it was glamorous - I stayed well out of the photograph!
