ICT Courses

Kildare Education Support Centre, in association with PDST Technology in Education, are in a position to support ICT CPD opportunities which can be tailored to your school’s staff needs.

The training can be scheduled to be delivered in your own school (minimum 10 teachers, but smaller schools can cluster together to make up this minimum number requirement).

The level of training can range from 2.5 hours to a 20 hour programme delivered over a number of sessions or can accommodate a formal ICT support group.

The above courses can be used for Croke Park hours.

If you have any queries or would like Kildare Education Support Centre to hold any particular ICT workshop please email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or call Vivienne at 045-530200.

Picker Pals 2022-2023

How Picker Pals Works :-

1. Classrooms receive a special delivery of the Picker Pals programme complete with books, songs and activities and the unique Picker Pack, containing adult and child litter-picking equipment.

2. Each week a child brings home the Picker Pack and leads their family on a litter-picking adventure in their local community.

3. Children take pride in their action through sharing their story with their teacher and classmates.

4. Picker Pals continually motivates the children throughout the school year with quizzes, competitions and Picker Pals TV episodes.
