Six students from St Louis High School took part in the annual All Ireland Linguistics Olympiad on January 26th. Well done to all of our participants, a number of whom took part for the first time this year. We are delighted to share that one of our students, Alisa Tarna (6/u), has made it through to the national finals of the AILO competition. The final will take place in DCU on Wednesday March 4th in DCU. We wish Alisa the very best of luck in the national final.
Our AILO club meets on Thursdays at lunch-time in Room 9. New members are always welcome.

What is AILO?
The All Ireland Linguistics Olympiad (AILO) is a contest in which secondary school students develop their own strategies for solving problems in fascinating languages from around the globe.
Students must use their ingenuity to solve Puzzles such as deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphics, decoding numerical spy codes, and interpreting ancient Mayan poetry.
No prior knowledge of linguistics or a second language is required, as even the hardest problems require only logical ability, patient work, and a willingness to think around corners.
