DNA Lecale Area Learning Community Teacher Workshop

This event was held at Down High School on 9 June 2015.
The purpose of the workshop was to improve teacher confidence in the practical aspects of applied Biology. Discovery DNA from England delivered the workshop which was very successful. All participants from the 7 schools involved found it a very useful day and a great opportunity to share good practice.
