St Joseph's NS receives technology grant from RISE Community Fund
St Joseph's National School in Dromahair has received a cash grant from the RISE Community Fund to support technology investments aimed at enhancing digital learning opportunities for pupils.
The grant was awarded as part of a new national programme that will provide funding to schools in every county during 2026.
Backed by National Broadband Ireland and partners involved in delivering the Government's National Broadband Plan, the RISE Community Fund supports technology investments that enhance digital learning and maximise the benefits of high-speed broadband connectivity.
St Joseph's National School, located in the townland of Killenummery near Dromahair, plans to use the funding to advance a number of technology projects designed to strengthen teaching, learning and digital skills development across the school.
Principal Nuala Gallagher said the funding would help address current technology needs within the school.
"We are currently operating with four iPads for a growing school community of 56 pupils. This funding will allow us to purchase additional iPads and associated software to ensure equitable access for all pupils across class levels.
