Presentation College students have had a busy week in STEM. Damian Korus was in the final of the Irish European Science Olympiad in Dublin College University on Thursday 17th January and Friday 18th January, Seán O’Driscoll represented the school in the B.T. Young Scientist and Technology Exhibition and Gavin Bradley received Safer Internet Day ambassador training in Google’s European Headquarters in Dublin.

The school continues to promote women in technology. Abbie Nolan, Rebecca McMahon and Cathy Tai are organising a trip to the iWish Women in Technology Conference in February where fifty girls from First to Fifth Year will learn about careers in Technology from highly qualified women in Ireland.

The school also continues to promote the positive use of ICT in Teaching and Learning. The newly refurbished computer room and upgraded 200Mb fibre broadband from NCTE improves IT access and the new Apple School Manager on iPads insures students have safe access to internet on iPads in classrooms.

Six teachers are following the Digital Leaders Programme 2018/19 and Presentation College has been selected for The Digital Excellence Programme 2018/19, where twenty-five schools from Ireland collaborate to emphasise the use of ICT in different areas of the curriculum.
