Springtime!

Nothing says 'Springtime' like baby chickens and at St Michael's Primary the'Composting Team' were fortunate enough to welcome the new chicks to the Nagle College farm! 'Farmer Mykel' and the Ag students were conducting an experiment with the different types of grain being feed to the chickens and checking their varying weights.

The Nagle College bus received a Springtime spruce up too, sporting a new label!
