Thanks to funding provided under Circular 60/2021, our school has been able to take a significant step toward closing the digital divide for students at risk of educational disadvantage.
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 allow us to purchase Chromebooks, now available for flexible use within the school. These devices are supporting students who may not have consistent access to digital tools at home, ensuring they can fully participate in learning both in and outside the classroom.
This investment is already having a positive impact—empowering students to access online resources, complete assignments, and build essential digital skills. We are committed to using this funding to create more equitable learning opportunities for all our students.
