Yesterday was an amazing day for our school. After just 13 months of blogging and our website launching just a couple of weeks ago… we have managed to receive not one, but TWO Eircom Junior Spider nominations! You can see the full shortlist here!
This is a huge achievement for our school, and something that the boys and girls in St. Peter’s can be very proud of. The nominations will encourage us to keep using ICT and social media to learn from and communicate well with the outside world. As a result of our nominations, we have been invited to the Google European Head Office in Dublin on April 29th for a day of celebration and awards-giving.
Thank you to our many online friends, be it other schools or supporters who have sent us messages of goodwill in the past day. It is so nice to show our students how to behave online and how the internet can be a force of positivity in our lives.
Some of our students recorded a podcast to celebrate and say a huge THANK YOU for our nomination!
ps. Here are some of the lovely tweets we received yesterday!
