The Carnaun School Project Group
 
Comprised of mainly 2nd level past pupils of the school, this is a voluntary group working with and under the guidance of the principal and staff of Carnaun School.  
They help out whenever possible with the many innovative, integrated and cross curricular projects run by Carnaun School. These students have expertise in various aspects of communications and technology, website design, computer maintenance, software, video editing, desktop publishing, languages, art, music and media.  
They give help or workshops to the school’s pupils in the area of their expertise and they also travel as helpers to the teachers on many school trips abroad.  

Their help has been invaluable in many projects such as:
