Royal School Armagh Geography Department

Great day with Year 11 collecting the data for their Unit 3 examination in the summer.

Weather was mixed but craic was mighty.

Francesca & Lily were fantastic ambassadors yesterday at the COP 29 Simulation Event at City Hall.

The day consisted of negotiations between different countries as they aimed to keep the global temperature increase below +2 degrees. The girls took on the role of the Egyptian delegates 🇪🇬 as part of the developing nations.

Thanks to & for hosting schools in the local area to allow for young people to voice their opinion on a number of issues from sustainable transport to the rights of young people.
