This school received a grant in 2021 to implement initiatives aimed at addressing the digital divide and support our learners at risk of educational disadvantage as a consequence, as part of the Irish National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) a project under the Recovery and Resilience Facility funded by the European Union through NextGenerationEU. This funding was used to provide cloud learning platforms such as Twinkle, three class laptops, an Interactive white board and stand as well as funding our annual subscription for our school website page as per the criteria outlined in circular 0060/2021).
