Scoil RuainScience Facilities

Scoil Ruáin has two modern Science Laboratories, and one large Science Demonstration room. All of these rooms are well stocked with the most up to date equipment, enabling all aspects of the Junior and Leaving Certificate Science courses, to be presented in the best possible manner. The Physics/Chemistry lab has access to the latest data logging equipment, which enables students to spend more time on analysis of information rather than on its collection. All science labs have also access to computer facilities, which add to the scientific experience in the school.
