THE Kerry Science Teachers’ Associatio­n primary Science quiz in the IT Tralee saw an impressive show of scientific knowledge from all students involved.

A range of schools from all over Kerry took part and there was a great atmosphere at the event.

There were some very high scores from the teams, and it was clear that a lot of work had gone into preparing the students for the big day.

The high standard observed by the correctors demonstrat­es how well all their hard work paid off in the end, and it was great to see so much enthusiasm from all the teams.

A tie-break finish made for an exciting end to the day, and some fantastic prizes were on offer for the victorious teams.
