St Joseph’s is proud to announce a major investment in state-of-the-art smart boards across all its classrooms. This initiative marks the latest significant step forward in the school’s commitment to providing an innovative and engaging learning environment for its pupils. Earlier this term, the school upgraded its computer rooms with brand new desktop computers.
The new smart boards will transform traditional teaching methods by enabling interactive lessons, real-time collaboration, and access to a wealth of digital resources. Teachers will be able to integrate multimedia content seamlessly, making lessons more dynamic and and engaging. Pupils will benefit from hands-on interaction, fostering creativity, critical thinking, and digital literacy—skills essential for success in today’s world.
Mr Rooney, Deputy Head, said: “We are thrilled to have these new interactive whiteboards installed across our school. This investment represents a huge step forward in creating dynamic, engaging classrooms where technology supports learning. These boards will allow teachers to deliver lessons in more interactive and creative ways, and ensure our pupils have access to the absolute best tools for success.”
Pupils have already expressed their enthusiasm for the new technology, with pupils sharing that they are able to engage with their lessons better, and the use of interactive videos and diagrams makes learning easier and more fun.
The investment aligns with St Joseph’s broader strategy to embrace digital innovation and ensure that every pupil has access to the best possible educational experience. Training sessions for staff are scheduled for the January Teacher Development Day, ensuring that the technology is used to its full potential from day one.
Headmaster Mr Higgins said: “We are having a big drive on Digital Literacy, so pupils are future ready. In addition, we have big plans to ensure our teaching and learning offering is using IT to support all learners. The implementation of our new Digital Approach will help SEND pupils significantly – many of whom already have the use of laptops in lessons.”
