The Brand New Computer Room!!!

Do you know where the computer room is? What is in it? What it is used for? Well let me explain. The computer room is directly in front of Mr. Jeffers classroom. It is like a big classroom and it is by all classes for educational and fun games plus some classes from the girls’ school take advantage from this spectacular room also the parents group (in case you don’t know what the Parents Group is, it is a group of pupils parents that think of brilliant ideas for our school)
The computer room is an amazing facility with 22 new desktop computers which are tremendous, a black and white laser printer, fibre fast broadband with windows 10 and a fabulous projector. This astonishing design was set up by Professor Butler (Ms. Butler’s dad) from UCC, and Declan O’ Flynn and a group of IT experts from the GRTC http://www.grctc.com/grctc-go-back-school/ and the stunning painting by Harry Varian. The cost of the new computers was a humongous 15,000 euro!!! The money came from our department of education, school board and super helpful Parents’ Group. Mr. Foley, Mr. Lettis and lots of boys around the school helped to set up the computers and the helpful displays and posters that make the room look so modern.
Shane and I and lots of other 6 th class boys’ helped set up the new computer room. The computer room is used for many different reasons such as EDUCATIONAL games, meetings and much, much more. I hope you enjoy the brand new computer room.
Thank you to everyone for helping us to have a computer room.
