PICTURES: Dingwall Academy harnesses Google Meet technology to introduce P7 pupils to the school

ROSS-SHIRE's largest secondary harnessed the technology which has helped it get through lockdown to introduce a whole new group of pupils to the school.

Dingwall Academy plans a series of online events to help introduce P7 pupils at its feeder primaries to the school.

Earlier today it hosted a live virtual tour thanks to the power of Google Meet, one of the applications used by pupils when learning from home.

The school said it will stage more events and has asked Primary 7s to check their Google Classroom for more information.

The Academy paid tribute to its S5 film and sound crew Logan and Mateusz for the improvised mobile rig.

It posted later: "It was lovely to see so many excited faces online and we look forward to seeing you again soon."

The idea was well received by many of those taking part.

One posted: "Well done to everyone involved, it was a great idea and worked well."

Another commented: "Lovely intro to DA for our youngsters, thanks to all involved!"
