Student members from Highlands Primary school and Redbridge Primary school represented London during the national primary school event , live,via secure video link.
This was a first and unique event that was facilitated by
using VC technology. Students from Redbridge joined Cumran Primary, St
Macartans Primary and St Malachys Primary in Northern Ireland, alongside
Belvidere Primary in Shropshire and Cyst St Marys in Devon.

Eamon McAteer Curriculum & MIS Services Team,c2k said ,"This was an excellent opportunity to
link with other pupils throughout the UK. The pupils were very excited about
engaging with their peers to discuss the transport issues they face on their
daily trips to and from school. They really felt part of something national and
they commented how much they would like to do more work on this scale. C2k are
always happy to engage with innovative ways of utilising new technology in
schools".

The National School Council Video Conference enabled schools from across the UK to collaborate and communicate together
without having to travel thousands of miles. The video conference was so
successful in bringing different communities and cultures together that in the
future this will hopefully become an annual national meeting for the schools
involved.
