Created by Science Gallery Dublin's OPEN MIND mental health and wellbeing programme, this challenge is guaranteed to brighten up your day - give them a go and see what works best for you

March 30, 2020

Since our school broke up abruptly on 12th March we have found ourselves having to adapt to the challenge of using ICT to facilitate distance learning. This is a huge challenge for our teachers who find themselves working from busy homes. It will also be a challenge for our pupils and parents/guardians. The aim of this short survey is to get a picture of how things are panning out for parents/ guardians/students of Ashbourne Community School. Similar surveys will be issued to teachers and students. The information you provide in this survey is crucial for planning purposes. We need to gauge the level of activity among our students and their ability to take part in the distance learning. Thank you in advance for completing it. You will receive a receipt of acknowledgement for completing the survey.
