Preparing pupils for the challenges of second level, university and life beyond is a core consideration at St. Matthias. It guided our decision to equip pupils with modern iPad technology. Textbooks can be down loaded and accessed in an instant. Teachers can monitor each pupil’s progress and advance his or her education on a one-to-one basis.
Skills like reading, mathematics and handwriting are not overlooked. As headmaster Ian Haseldine puts it ‘through conventional learning and modern technology, pupils at St. Matthias get an education vastly more advanced than was possible before.’
