IT Upgrades

  • Every classroom in the school is now equipped with an interactive screen, ensuring consistent access to high-quality digital teaching and learning tools across all class levels. In addition, there are currently 76 laptops available throughout the school and 212 iPads that pupils use regularly to support and enhance their learning experiences.

  • We use these devices to help develop children’s coding skills throughout the school - starting with the use of Beebots in junior classes, moving on to use of Scratch Junior in the middle classes and finally using Minecraft Education in senior classes.

  • As children move through the school they build on their skills being developed in each class level. In senior classes children begin to use iMovie to create advertisements as part of English curriculum. Children also take part in designing their own Kahoot quizzes as a fun way to enable children to take part in creating peer assessments. Pupils use Kiddle, Scoilnet and Google Earth to support self directed learning and research. Each student is also documenting their learning digitally through the Seesaw App.

  • Mathletics, Times Tables Rock Stars, 99 Math, Read Theory, Typing Club and Duolingo are some of the other websites and applications children utilise in supporting the development of their literacy, numeracy and IT skills.

  • Online safety and consent regarding the sharing/taking of photographs etc. is something which we support our students with too to help them confidently and safety navigate the online world. Cyber Safe Ireland gave talks to parents and students in February 2026 to support our school community.

  • We are very passionate about building upon these skills for our students and look forward to continuing to invest in IT in our school for the benefit of our student body.
