A Sixth-Year student at St Columba’s Comprehensive School, Glenties, has qualified for the National Final of the All-Ireland Linguistics Olympiad (AILO) for the third consecutive year.
Siún Ibbs had a top 50 finish in the first round of the competition and will be participating in the final at DCU on Wednesday, 12th March.
She will fly the flag for the north-west as Donegal’s sole representative among one hundred qualifiers from almost fifty schools nationwide.
Run by the ADAPT Centre and supported by Science Foundation Ireland, the AILO contest challenges students to engage in ‘code-breaking’ by applying logic, patience, and reasoning skills to solve complex puzzles in unfamiliar languages. It is a key element of the nationwide Problem-Solving Initiative.
