Today students from Killina School TY video linked with Dr Tonya Shearer who is a research scientist in the school of Biology at Georgia Tech.
Her research investigates the use of molecular technology to detect and characterize environmental stress responses in corals.
Dr. Shearer brought the topic to life in an engaging presentation followed by a lively question and answer session with the students.
Dr. Shearer also mentioned that she had spent time in Aquarius .
Aquarius is an underwater ocean laboratory located in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. The laboratory is deployed three and half miles offshore, at a depth of 60 feet, next to spectacular coral reefs.
Scientists live in Aquarius during ten–day missions using saturation diving to study and explore our coastal ocean.

Killina Football News
March 29, 2012 | | Leave a Comment
Our senior football team qualified for the semi-final of the Vocational Schools B football with a thrilling 1-8 to 0-8 points win over Grennan College. Trailing at numerous points in the game, Killina showed great battling qualities to stay in touch. Their hard work paid off when Paddy Dunican fisted the ball to the net with seconds to spare to send the game into extra- time.
In extra- time Killina played some great football to lead by 2 points going into the last minute. With their last attack, Grennan won a penalty. Brian Redmond however dived excellently to save with the last kick of the game.
In the semi- final Killina came up against an excellent Rathoath team who ran out winners on a score line of 1-16 to 2-06. Despite constant pressure from the Rathoath team throughout, Killina continued to make attacks and put in a very good performance. Rathoath, later in the week, went on to win the Leinster final and are currently preparing for an All Ireland final.
Overall this was an excellent year for the senior footballers who also qualified for the Leinster League final earlier in the year.
