The devices aim to enhance digital learning while also providing students with a safe online learning environment.
Castletroy College has introduced a new 1:1 student device initiative in partnership with Ireland's leading educational technology provider, Wriggle Learning.
First-year students have been equipped with their own personal Chromebooks under the new initiative that aims to enhance the student learning experience, prioritise student safety and better prepare them for the future.
Through this new initiative, the college aims to facilitate a more personalised and interactive learning experience that aligns with the evolving demands of the school curriculum.
Students are now better equipped to engage with digital resources that enhance their ability to collaborate, think critically, and develop the skills essential for success in their senior cycle and beyond.

The Chromebooks are fully managed and locked down, significantly reducing exposure to online threats and inappropriate content. This ensures that students can focus on their studies in a secure digital environment, while parents can have peace of mind knowing that their children are protected.
Principal Brian O'Donoghue of Castletory College shared his pride in the programme’s success, “Providing our first-year students with Chromebooks ensures they are prepared for the challenges ahead, with devices that are safe, secure, and fully managed. This partnership with Wriggle Learning represents an important step forward for Castletroy College. It’s all about equipping our students with the tools and skills they need to succeed and thrive in the future”.
"Wriggle Learning is delighted to have partnered with Castletroy College in successfully launching the 1:1 Student Device initiative," said Paul Dooley, CEO, of Wriggle Learning. "By providing secure and managed Chromebooks, we have enhanced the educational experience for students and ensured a safe and protected environment for learning. This partnership is about equipping students with the tools they need to excel academically while safeguarding them from the risks associated with digital technology."
