This collaboration, a significant milestone in the school's commitment to enhancing student engagement, assures our community of our dedication to developing key skills across all year groups.

Located in the heart of Citywest and Saggart, Coláiste Pobail Fola is a brand-new secondary school built to serve the needs of its growing community. Under the patronage of the Dublin and Dún Laoghaire Education and Training Board (DDLETB), the school is guided by a vision to provide a Multi-denominational, co-educational, community-focused, technologically advanced education campus.

Joy Uí Mhurchadha, Principal of Coláiste Pobail Fola, shared her enthusiasm about the partnership:

"We are thrilled to work with Skilly as we build an educational model that embraces innovation and fosters inclusivity. By integrating this platform, we empower our students to reflect, engage, and grow in ways aligned with the demands of a modern world."

Shane Maguire, CEO of Skilly, also commented on the collaboration:

Our platform is designed to nurture student development, support Classroom-Based Assessments (CBAs), and provide teachers with insights that enhance learning outcomes. Together, we aim to make a lasting impact on education in this vibrant new school community."

The deployment will commence with Junior Cycle year groups, with plans to gradually introduce Skilly to additional year groups and curriculum areas over time, ensuring a smooth and effective integration.

This partnership reflects Coláiste Pobail Fola’s unwavering dedication to leveraging modern technology and methodologies to ensure a progressive, student-centred educational experience, placing the students at the heart of our mission.
