Three students from Mary Immaculate Secondary School entered the John Hooper Statistical Poster Competition this year. They were Lily Casey and Suzie Hynes with one entry and Nicole Bujnowska with the second entry.
The John Hooper Statistical Poster Competition is one of Ireland’s most respected and prestigious schools competitions. The competition is named after the first Director of Statistics of the Irish Free State and has become hugely popular with both students and teachers alike.
The competition provides an outstanding opportunity for students across the island of Ireland to showcase their data analytical and interpretation skills. Participation in the John Hooper Statistical Poster Competition improves students’ abilities to describe their environment with the help of statistics and to use statistics as a tool for making sense of daily life.
The results were announced on Friday 26 March 2026 and congratulations to Lily Casey and Suzie Hynes who was awarded second prize for their entry entitled “Quartz in the Burren”,. This was an amazing result as there are only three prizes awarded in the competition covering both junior and senior entries.
Well done to our three students for entering the competition and their mentor John Sims.
Lily and Suzie will be presented with their award in Dublin in October.
