As part of our ongoing commitment to enriching the learning experience of our students, we are introducting 1:1 student devices here in Grennan College. 1:1 (One to One) is where, in a school, each student has their own dedicated device which they use as part of their learning. The device belongs to the student, so they use it both in school and for studying at home.
This initiative will follow a blended-learning model, with students using traditional textbooks alongside digital tools to promote interactive learning, collaboration, and skill development within a secure and structured environment. Given the ever-increasing use of IT in our schools for Junior Cycle CBAs, Transition Year Portfolios and Senior Cycle projects, we believe that moving to 1:1 devices is the best way to support learning and teaching in our school.
Current 1st and TY Parents were given information about this in September 2025 and the Olive for Education Shop opened in October. Following enquiries from parents in other year groups, all year groups for 2026/2027 now have the option to purchase a 1:1 device if they so wish.
Below, you will find key information on the rationale behind this initiative, guidance on purchasing a 1:1 device, and details on available sibling discounts.
