Here is some feedback from our assessor on our Log of Evidence:
'Well done to all the learners in Kilcoole Primary School on achieving a CuriousMinds Platinum Award in 2024. There was amazing learning opportunities presented in your log of evidence across all the classes in the school. I particularly liked how information was presented in your application using images, text and audio files which support a Universal Design for Learning.
Your Dreamspace Ambassador Programme sounds like an amazing initiative to support technology and peer based learning.
Your Platinum application had a variety of areas to focus on such as biodiversity, STEM awareness for both teachers and parents. This was evident in your application with the many comments and reflections from parents. Developing links with the parents and within the community was evident across your application from Wicklow National Park to the local vet.
Parental involvement has been a success as parents indicated in their own reflection that they want to return again next term. It is clear from your application that the children took pride in their work and were delighted to present their work to parents. Perhaps you could develop your podcast to link in with the parents also.
Well done on all your hard work this year developing STEM across the school.
Congratulations on achieving the Platinum Award'.
