NEWS / 9 November 2026

On Monday, 9th November all the 1st Year Computer Studies students gathered in the Computer Lab to take part in the Young Environmentalist Awards kick-off workshop - an Ideas Factory workshop in fact! Sarah from ECO-UNESCO visited the class to explain the steps to enter this competition and to start brainstorming ideas.

In the coming weeks the 1st Years will be creating and designing Scratch coding projects to raise awareness of a Sustainability issue that resonates with each of the groups. 

Thanks to Ms Skehan, Dr McAdoo, Ms Gower, Mr Weese and Mr Barrett for supporting the kick-off workshop. We're all looking forward to seeing what the 1st years create!
