Student development and care is at the core of everything we do in GCL. As a ‘Digital School’, technology is embedded in learning but also plays a major role in their day to day experience of school life. Student voice is very strong in GCL with a very active Student Council guiding us through their needs.
We survey students regularly to get their feedback and we have a ticket system where students can log any issues that they may be having with technology.
We have leadership team of students called ‘Na Tiarnaí Teic’. The group focuses attentions on areas such as coding, animation, educational development with technology as well as running a student help desk for any queries. They help first year students to settle in with their new iPad devices and they also help teachers in class to support learning with technology.
