Students from the five Transition Year classes recently entered the National Maths Eyes 2014 Competition.
The competition aims to create a positive image of maths and to build students' confidence of using maths in everyday life.
The entrants were required to take a picture of something to do with maths in everyday life. 
The students set out around the school to take various pictures of anything to do with maths such as finding parallel lines, different shapes etc.
These pictures were sent to the Maths Eyes Competition and the shortlist was released on January 23rd last.
Sarah Behan Cahill's entry was one of those chosen for the shortlist. Sarah will attend a prize-giving ceremony in Dublin in March where she will receive a plaque and a copy of her poster.
An overall winner in each category will be announced on this date.
A school competition was also held where students got the chance to pick their favourite picture and four winners were picked.
In first place were Gemma Robotham, Caoimhe McConnan Burke and Natasha Doyle. In second place were Alice Linehan and Ruan Gormley, in third place were Aoife Shaw, Maria Cooke and Rebecca Mulvey and in fourth place were Sarah Alley, Grace Hanlon and Daisy Early.
The competition was a definite success and really opened up the Transition Year's eyes to maths in an everyday world.
