It was with great excitement today that we were informed that our school's website www.christthekingps.com has been shortlisted for the prestigious Eircom Junior Spider Awards!
The awards are part of the Eircom Spider Awards that honour Irish individuals and organisations for their outstanding achievements online and celebrating the successes of the Irish internet and digital media. These awards have been running since 1996.
The eircom Junior Spider Awards were established in 2009 as a parallel programme for students at primary and post primary school level.The idea was originated by Business & Finance, working closely with main sponsors eircom.
The aim of these awards is to:
- Acknowledge the innovation amongst web creators in schools.
- Provide an exciting programme that will encourage teachers/students to further develop their technology skills in web design.
- Encourage the use of the internet to teach subjects on our curriculum.
- Act as a catalyst for those students who wish to pursue a career in this sector by providing access to influential business executives.
We have been shortlisted in the 'Best School Website' category along with 6 other Primary Schools from around Ireland. The awards take place on 29th April, 2014 at The Foundry in Google, Dublin.
Thank you to everyone for your continued support.
