Photograph of two men in white lab coats seen in a science lab with devices around them. They are looking at a battery that they have made. In the foreground is a ying yang symbol, with black on one side and white on the other, with a dot of the opposite colour appearing on the alternate side. On the black side is the word "Sodium" and on the white side is the word "Lithium" to reflect that the battery is made of a balance of the two materials

Our Transition Year students enjoyed a wonderful show at the Limetree Theatre today. We were mesmerised by the exhilarating fusion of interpretive dance and traditional music performed during the aptly titled "Reverb," which was organised as part of the Bualadh Bos Festival.
