Every year we offer our pupils in Transition year the opportunity to do the European Computer Drivers Licence. This is certified by The Irish Computer Society.

ECDL Core is for students who want to cover seven modules recommended for proficiency in user ICT literacy – and demonstrate their readiness for employment or further learning.

ICS Skills is the Irish licensee for ECDL, the world's most successful IT skills certification programme.
ICS Skills has helped over half-a-million Irish people (more than 17% of the working population) benefit from ECDL – and move forward in education, career and life.

The deadline for the Young Scientists Proposals is this Friday September 28th. Mr. Murphy and Ms. Lyons are expecting some exciting new ideas!

A Group of seniors pupils along with Ms Lyons and Mr Galvin have travelled over to The National Ploughing Championships in Gorey Co. Wexford bright and early this morning. www.npa.ie

Hope they brought their wellies!

CBS Ennistymon is one of 40 schools lucky enough to be chosen to do a pilot course in Computing Science for Juniors. The two modules will include Digital Media and Computational Thinking.

Ms. Campbell attended an in-service day on Saturday at the Irish Computer Society in Dublin. We are delighted to be able to offer this to our present first years in an effort to prepare our pupils for the modern working world.

On Thursday September 5th the Transition year group had a surf lesson in Lahinch. For many it was their first time to hit the waves and they found it a great experience. Fortunately for them the weather was fabulous and the waves were class. Mr. Sexton accompanied the group.

All students and Teachers will have access to thier own email, Calendar and Google docs so that they can work on files from home or within the school. This will be rolled out from the first week in the new year. Click on the links under home for your own personal account
