The Preparatory School boys had a visit from the Blackrock Observatory on Tuesday 6 February.  Ms Frances McCarthy brought the inflatable dome which was set up in the Secondary School Hall.  Each class, from Junior Infants to Sixth, had a forty minutes session in the dome where they saw shows on the sun, moon and stars geared to their age group.  The boys thoroughly enjoyed the presentations.

Ms Frances McCarthy of Blackrock Observatory talks to the boys before they enter the dome.
