Belgrove BNS
Student-led Learning
Belgrove BNS were looking for innovative ways to use technology effectively in all areas of the school’s success: teaching, learning, planning and admin. The school have a very positive staff who were particularly interested in finding exciting ways to engage students.
The Challenge
The staff at Belgrove were very confident with technology use in general and had been successfully implementing technology in different subject areas prior to approaching Olus Education. Aware of the potential technology offers, they approached Olus to see what opportunities were available for their staff and students to use technology more effectively.
The Solution
Beginning with a structured digital learning curriculum for the staff, Olus supported the school in building an increasingly progressive school plan, year-on-year. The school has used the student-led portal in all classes, with classes using it for digital literacy as well as coding - while simultaneously providing a strong foundation for tech basics among students (and staff).
The Results
The student-led portal has enabled less skilled teachers to immediately offer a richer curriculum while they up-skill themselves, while more confident teachers have utilised it to create dynamic, differentiated learning environments.
Response from the School
“The student portal has been a game changer for us here at Belgrove. The teachers are excited, they feel increasingly confident to lean on our student devices as a learning tool that they can use to enrich learning in a variety of areas. Any barrier that previously existed to digital learning at Belgrove is increasingly becoming a distant memory.”
Conor Ryan, Principal, Belgrove BNS Dublin
“The students have already used the portal for two projects and I only had to answer 2 or 3 questions! Both projects used Book Creator as the focus app. We’re moving to coding next”

“Olus is really easy - you don’t have to know a lot about technology to use it correctly”
