As a recognised digital school, Dunamase College has embraced technology as a key driver of educational excellence. Through innovative classroom practice, collaborative learning opportunities and the thoughtful integration of digital tools, the school continues to create an environment where both students and teachers can thrive.
In addition to presenting at Loinnir, both teachers participated in a collaboration day involving the Department of Education, Oide and Initial Teacher Education providers from across the country. They shared their expertise with representatives from leading higher education institutions, including Maynooth University, Dublin City University, Trinity College Dublin, the University of Limerick and the Technological University of the Shannon, Athlone.
Principal Mrs. Kelly congratulated both teachers on their achievements, saying “We are immensely proud of Aisling and Grace and the way they represented Dunamase College at both the Loinnir Festival of Digital Learning and the national collaboration event with our third-level education partners. Their professionalism, expertise and willingness to share best practice exemplify the culture of excellence that exists throughout our school.”
