Another school, St Cronan's Junior National School, in Swords Co. Dublin, has benefited from the Computers for Irish Schools program, receiving 10 Pentium 4 PCs to enhance their computer room. We hope that these computers go some way to help the pupils of St cronan's achieve their school motto "To be the best that we can be" more info in St Cronan's here
Scoil Mhuire in Marino has also benefitted from the CFIS mobile phone collection. The collection drive gathered 65 old mobile phones for which they received an Elvery’s sports voucher for €200.
Computers for Irish Schools, a not for profit division of Electronic Recycling, is in its infancy and we have quite a number of schools registered to accept Computers as they become available, hopefully as the word spreads, more companies will get on board the program to the benefit of our schools.
The purpose of the program is to re-route IT equipment, which is not quite ready for the recycling bin, to needy schools in Ireland.
There is no cost to the schools, CFIS carries the cost of preparing the equipment and delivering it to the selected school. CFIS also take the equipment back when it becomes obsolete, closing the recycling circle, again at no cost to the school.
For companies, the normal recycling charges apply and any equipment, which is not donated to schools, is recycled to the highest standards by Electronic Recycling.
This service combines guaranteed data security, recycling to the highest standards using the best available technology, combined with an opportunity to enhance Corporate Social Responsibility.
Getting involved means your IT equipment can make a difference to your local school. In a perfect world it would be possible to provide every student with individual access to a computer but in the current economic climate, this is realistically very difficult. Computers for Irish Schools can go some way to improve the situation.
