Our asd UNIT - INBHEAR

Our ASD Unit is called Inbhear. This is the Irish word for estuary. Our town is located on the Shannon estuary where the river meets the sea. This is an important part of the journey of the river and we thought it apt that we give our ASD Unit this name as it is also an important part of the educational journey for our students.

Office 365

The Comp is a Microsoft Office School. This means that all our students have access to the microsoft suite of apps for education both in school and at home. This can be particularly useful to students with additional learning needs. Here we would like to highlight some of those features.
