Ballymacward P.S. wins £5000 BT Award

In January 2001 we won a BT FutureTalk Award to carry out a project which would chart the building of our new school using the latest technology. With a digital video camera and state-of-the-art computers, the children helped to record the building process, interviewed key personnel, recorded their own thoughts and memories and carried out a host of other related activities.

The children also helped to design CD-Roms, a commemorative booklet and a website through which their work can be seen by the community and, indeed, by the whole world.

Thank you BT.

 On 11th April 2001 Mairead Grimley from BT came to the school to present us with our cheque. You can see some pictures below:
