Congratulations to the Teaching and Learning Team on a wonderful morning of sharing and collaboration. Thanks to Ms Bradley and Ms Barrett, who coordinated the event. Fr Conn and Mr Murray were both very impressed and keen to see the variety of methodologies being used by the various departments.

On Wednesday the 8th December, we hosted Féilte Scoile in our school. This was organised by the Teaching and Learning team in the school and Coordinated by Janet Bradley (Teaching and Learning Co-ordinator) and Katie Barrett (Junior Cycle Co-ordinator) Féilte is run by the Teaching Council of Ireland every year and attracts many teachers from all over Ireland to showcase their Teaching and Learning methodologies.

In our Féilte Scoile, each subject department showcased their Teaching and Learning Methodologies and some Assessment Methodologies including feedback. Teachers spent a number of minutes at each stand and saw how they could incorporate their strategies into their subjects.

We were joined on the day by our Chairman of the Board of Management Fr. Conn O'Maoldhomhnaigh who visited every stand to see these methodologies.

Overall, it was a very successful day with positive feedback from staff. It is hoped to run this event again in the future.

The Teaching and Learning team would like to thank Mr. Murray, Ms. Gillespie and Mr. Carley along with all teachers for their support on this initiative.

The Teaching and Learning team really put in a lot of time into the whole event. Missing from the photo are Ms Cumiskey, Ms Gillespie (Deputy Principal), Ms Nagle and Ms Ryan.

Our Gym was a super venue for the event. 

Some of the stands on the day. More will be added as well as further information on the event. 

And then there was a coffee break - with a bun baked by one of our talented students.
