'Drawing to Learn'


Teachers from St Patrick's Primary School, Mount Saint Catherine's Primary School, St Jarlath's Primary school Blackwatertown along with pupil's from St Catherine's College participated in a one day course entitled 'Drawing to Learn'. The aims of the day were to enable teachers and pupils to become more confident in sketching and designing. Eventually this training will be rolled out into the primary schools where it is hoped they will become confident in sketching (robots in particular!)
