ISTA Consultations on Senior Science Syllabi
The Irish Science Teachers Association (ISTA) are this month hosting a series of consultation evenings on the new Leaving Certificate senior science syllabi. The first of these takes place tomorrow for members of the Dublin Branch - at 7:30pm in Blackrock College. The meeting will look at all the new syllabi. Other meetings are scheduled throughout the month in the various branches around the country - full details will appear on the ISTA website in due course. However, some dates have already been published with details below:
