    Impact of the project –Ireland

    We have been very fortunate to receive support from many local groups in order for this project in Gortskehy to be a complete success. Thank you.

    Local community supporters include:

    CMS Peripherals Limited - helped our project through primary sponsorship for balloon launch into space. We framed this picture for them to display in their headquarters.

    Decare Dental – supported our project by being secondary sponsors on our balloon launch. They sent up one of their toothbrushes into space and gave each child in the school a dental gift.

    Chris Hilcox – very kindly travelled over from England to help Gortskehy N.S. with our balloon launch. He came to the school and spoke with the pupils about balloon launches and constructed the actually containers which held the GPS equipment and representative pieces from our Erasmus partners to travel into space. He brought the necessary equipment and expertise required for the mission, without his help we would not have had such a successfully day!

    Credit Union Claremorris – contributed to our launch day by sending out an ice cream van to make the day extra special for the pupils and local community who came out to support the project.

    Derek Dempsey – Newport Astronomer Derek Dempsey has been a great help this year in inspiring the pupils about the night sky and space in general. He gave a talk and presentation to the pupils. He answered countless questions and really opened up the curious minds of our young pupils. So much so that the 4th Class pupils choose to base their class play on a story of a girl called 'Buzz Ally' who becomes first girl to walk on the moon! When he came again in March he led the school and surrounding local community in a fantastic Star Gazing party.

    Olivia Tierney – the parents of our pupils have been our main supporters throughout this project. Without their constant help and support this project would not be possible for us to complete. They have donated gifts, given of their time and helped with transport during project work. Pictured below is Olivia Tierney donating a jigsaw- The Solar System to our school for our Space box.
