Cameras for Online Teaching
During the recent confinements, online teaching has become the norm for students and teachers alike. A new and valuable skill has been learnt. To enable these to be shown at their best, Agrupamento de Escolas Silves Sul needed access to good quality cameras. RC Silves was able to donate two cameras to support the school in delivering online learning at its normal high standard.
Help for the community during this confinement.
During the Civid 19 Pandemic , monies normally spent on lunch were donated to funds to meet local need. This fund has been used so far to purchase extra food required to supplement the support for families in Silves. RC Silves will continue to help wherever possible.
