IT WAS a case of teachers learning from their pupils at Parteen National School with the launch of the school’s new website last week.
The young students had their say on the new website, and collaborated with principal Miriam Smyth, along with the Technological University of the Shannon (TUS) and staff members Siobhán Barry and Ruth Andrews.
Pupils also took part in an art competition, and their creations now feature on the new site, along with video and photo content which TUS and Limerick photographer, Eamonn Andrews helped to capture.
To mark the launch of the website, the school had its first gathering in two years that could be attended by parents, staff and pupils.
There was a day of song and dance by the talented pupils and the newly-formed Parteen school trad band.
All of the pupils joined in the singing of ‘A Million Dreams’, a song voted for by the children.
The event was compered by Kara Foley and Niall Cox, two sixth class pupils who are also members of the School Council.
Speaking after the event, Ms Smyth thanked the pupils and staff and told the children “your enthusiasm each and every day makes this school a joy to teach in, and of course to our teachers who give 100 per cent to ensure that the children are not only receiving an excellent education, but are also enjoying each and every lesson they experience.
“Your combined input has made our website a vibrant celebration of the essence of Parteen National School.” The new website can be accessed at www.parteenschool.ie
