Congratulations to David Hatton and Emily O'Callaghan who have been selected by U.C.D. School of Mathematical Sciences to attend Mathematics Enrichment classes that are being offered at universities around the country. Each year a cohort of talented students are selected on the basis of their exceptional performance in Higher Level Mathematics in their Junior Cert. They both attained a grade A in their exam this year under the guidance of their teacher Ms. Eleanor McLean.

The enrichment classes lead into Olympiad training classes. The International Mathematical Olympiad (I.M.O.) is a prestigious annual team competition for mathematically talented  second-level students representing their countries. Ireland has participated in the competition since 1988, and Irish students have won medals in eight of these competitions.

Emily and David are currently immersed in their Transition Year programme in Presentation College where they are discovering many opportunities to further develop their talents.
