In February 2022 we were approached by Queens' University Belfast to assist with an undergraduate research project. One year 10 class was selected at the time and we were delighted that QUB undergraduates returned to school in June 2022 to deliver their Chemiluminescence workshop to the remaining classes in year 10. The girls highlighted a range of STEM careers and explored the chemistry behind glow sticks.

With not being able to run our usual tour for Open Day we have produced a video showcasing some of the activities that a pupil can experience and all of the subject areas they will cover during their time at Dalriada. You can either watch all of the 90 minute Youtube video or you can open up the information section opposite the title (small arrow head) and select any of the individual listed sections to view. The footage is a mixture of events from previous academic years and also the current. It also shows a mixture of activities that would be pre COVID and others under current COVID restrictions. At the beginning of the Headmaster’s address there is an important slide that reflects the most recent updated Admissions Criteria for Dalriada, published this week.

In June 2022 nineteen of our year 13 Chemistry students participated in the Royal Society of Chemistry’s Schools’ Analyst competition. Only 300 schools across the UK were invited to participate in this competition so we were thrilled when we received our box of materials. Almost 6 hours were spent in the laboratory analysing amino acids in flour, acidity in cider vinegar and malt vinegar, sugar content in potatoes and finally the decomposition of baking soda all within the context of selecting more sustainable and local ingredients for use in a chip shop. We are grateful to the RSC for the opportunity to take part developing valuable practical skills directly related to the A-level specification. Thanks also to Mrs Johanne Brolly, RSC NI Education Coordinator, for popping in with some RSC branded goodies for the participants. #rscsac #analyticalchemistry
