Congratulations to the cast and crew of the outstanding production of Back to the 80's. We are so proud of you all.
If you missed it you missed an extraordinary two days in the life of the school. A cast who started with great performances learned and grew under the skilled and careful guidance of Ms Smith and Mr Eoghan Cleary and supported by the entire staff, student body and parents delivered on Friday night a performance that in succession enthralled, awed and enraptured everyone who witnessed it. Something extraordinary happened on Friday night in Portumna Community School; in the words of an audience member leaving: " I was in New York five weeks ago and went to a show there. What I saw tonight was better". #PCSbeyourbest
Welcome ...........
The way we interact with information changed forever in the mid 1990's. Suddenly, in an Irish living room, you could look at a school website in the USA or New Zealand, you could look up information that months earlier meant a walk to a library during opening hours or you could type messages that arrived at their destination seconds later. The educational impact, like the commercial impact and the social impact, has been huge. Tbh, ( to be honest, for the non digital natives) education worldwide is still only finding its way with the Internet. |
Portumna Community School has had a presence on the net for years; a deployment of technology as soon as it was relevant; a willingness to experiment, to test, to weigh up and then embrace what brings benefit to our students.
You are visiting our website, version 3.0. It is the anchor of our web presence, around which our social media presence is developing (Twitter, Facebook) and linked to our presence in mobile technology with our school app. We want you to meet us here, to get a sense of a community of learners embracing the future with prudence, with common sense, with a pride in the places and people and traditions which made us. We want you to look back on the school that contributed to your development and maybe get a sense that the place is still driving on, still striving to excel, still breaking new ground. We are still putting learning first, still looking to challenge and enable everyone to do their personal best and be their personal best. Or in the era of hashtag, #PCSbeyourbest. Welcome. |
