Maths at Boherbue Comprehensive School

“As long as you focus on what you are good at, you can succeed!” - Alex
Boherbue Comprehensive Secondary School has a very busy Maths Department. Currently 2nd and 3rd year students are sitting the Maths Olympiad of which Alex will be apart of again this year which has been organised by Miss Norma Twomey Fitzgerald. This is a National Mathematics contest for secondary school students. Those that did well in this competition last year had the opportunity to attend Maths enrichment classes in UCC. These gave students exposure to deeper, challenging and interesting maths problems outside of the Maths syllabus. Maths Week which is all-island event will take place in October and has been very popular within the school. Every year Transition Year students hold a Maths quiz for the First Year Cohort. Furthermore 1st Years have the opportunity to participate in the Irish Junior Maths Competition which will be held in January. The competition which is organised by the Irish Maths Teachers Association has been a huge success in the past within the school.
