We received the following feedback from the judges:
‘Well done to all the staff and learners at Culleens National School! It was inspiring to review your log of evidence and see the incredible range of STEM work happening across the school. It's clear that everyone is enthusiastic, curious and keen to be involved. It's great to see so many budding scientists and engineers using their creativity and their team work skills to discover and learn about everything from kites and bubble rockets to gummy bears and bouncy eggs. The learners have opportunities to use their maths skills in a range of practical ways from baking pancakes to coding and the fitness drive - you did a great job sharing your work with other classes. Congratulations to the whole school on achieving a well deserved Gold Award and keep up the excellent work!’
