There is a very interesting article in today’s Irish Times. The article looks in detail at the Community National School model and how it can contribute to the Irish Education System. Our schools is heavily featured throughout the article. They have used the new name for the school which is great but it will take some time to get used to! Details on when we will be launching the new name officially will be ironed out soon.

I took part in an hour long discussion with the journalist before Christmas. It was almost as intense as my interview with the Parent Association for the newsletter!!! Some of the comments look a bit random in the article as they were part of a much wider discussion but overall, we are happy with the piece.

Please see the link below if you would like to read the article.
