Remote lessons being learned at the Comp

REMOTE teaching and learning is still a challenge for everyone involved, but St Patrick’s Comprehensive principal Mary Costello said that a lot of lessons were learned in 2020, which are making things that bit easier right now.
She says that there was much more notice this time, compared to when a sudden decision came from Government last March. “Literally we found out at lunchtime on the 12th that we were closing and moving to remote learning. We had done a little bit of preparatory work in terms of resources being printed out, but we thought we were going to close for two weeks. This time, when we came back in September, we had an eye the whole time on the potential for local or national closures.”
