Offaly but is a place rich in talent and resources and is a fantastic place to educate the future of tomorrow in a safe and caring environment.

In 2011, we moved from the old school building to our state of the art complex just a few metres away………. We focus on an all rounded approach to teaching in Ballingar N.S using modern techniques such as ICT but also value the holisic approach by conducting mindfullness and wellness activities. Ballingar is and always has been an integral part of the community and we have seen the school grow and blossom year after year.

Feel free to edit as you see fit. Flesh out the scenes with the key points from each. Remember, we will only have any speaker on camera for 1/2 lines. Then we will break away. We will gather footage (b-roll) on the things they speak about in the passage but the remainder of what they say will be recorded as a voiceover.

This is just a starting point. When you have fleshed it out, send back to me and I will refine more.
