Digital Learning at Royal School Cavan

Here at Royal School Cavan, we recognise and appreciate the value technology has in both teaching and
learning. The use of technology develops a wide range of critical skills, such as digital literacy, innovation,
and collaboration that are required in the world of work.

In September 2022 we began the rollout of individual student devices to assist with their learning. Currently
all Form 1 and Form 2 students have their own Chromebook.
Google Workspace is the online platform used in our school to support our students’ learning. Each
student is given a school Gmail account, and through this, they have access to a number of Google
Apps such as Google Docs, Google Classroom and Google Meet. All teachers in our school use Google
Classroom in order to set homework, upload learning materials or to correct student assignments.

With recent upgrading, each classroom can access the internet and utilize digital projectors in their
everyday teaching. We have 100MB speed broadband and Wi-Fi throughout our school.

Students are educated about the effective and acceptable use of technology, and this use is constantly
monitored. We have developed a Digital Learning Plan (DLP) and we are currently trailing various
strategies to incorporate ICT methodologies into our teaching, learning and assessment. We also have a
Chromebook Use policy in place.

Board of Management

The Board of Management of Royal School Cavan consists of a chairperson, a non-voting secretary, two nominees
