The World's Largest Lesson

29/9/2015

 
Have you ever heard of the Global Goals for Sustainable Development? They are a renewal of the Millenium Development Goals - a list of targets the United Nations has established to address some of the greatest challenges the Earth is currently facing.

The Worlds Largest Lesson from World's Largest Lesson on Vimeo.

The Global Goals were launched on 25th September, and as part of a Global Initiative, Minister for Education and Skills Jan O'Sullivan, T.D., has asked every school in the country to participate in the World's Largest Lesson.

​As a part of our Learn Together curriculum, we continually strive to explore human rights, promote and activate equality, as well as instill in the children a sense of global citizenship.  For that reason, we are proud to support the Global Goals and look forward to teaching the children all about them this week. Be sure to ask your child about them, and discuss them in more depth at home!

Eldon's Senior Infants made a display illustrating each of the 17 Global Goals. Check it out on the Ground Floor.

Mad Hatter Day was a Raving Success!

25/9/2015

 
We cannot tell you how THRILLED we were with the success of our first Mad Hatter Day! We could not have anticipated the phenomenal response to this event and the creativity showed by children and their parents in the works of art they stuck, glued and improvised!
Our only regret is that we didn't get to take many photographs - we were genuinely too busy taking in the fabulous creations. Well done to EVERYBODY, and thanks for helping our first fundraiser of the year to be such an incredible success!

We have a new cleaner!

25/9/2015

 
We have some VERY exciting news! John, who has been our caretaker for quite some time now, has agreed to take on the cleaning of the school as well! We know that our school could not be in safer hands. 

Welcome to the staff as a full-time staff member, John!

Mad Hatter Day!

25/9/2015

 
Now that we've all settled back in to school so well, we have time to plan some fun events for the school calendar. First up is a Mad Hatter Day Fundraiser tomorrow, Friday 25th September - this event is designed to raise funds to build our resources in relation to the teaching of Belief Systems.

What do I need to do?

Put on your thinking cap and come up with the craziest hat style you can imagine - the more creative, the better! We're talking colours, shapes, heights, curls, accessories - the lot! Google will help you if you're coming up blank!
Picture
We're asking each child to bring in €2 on the day, to contribute towards the Intercultural Fund - of course if parents want to show off some creative styles on the day too, we'd be delighted to see them!

Public Meeting on Childcare

23/9/2015

 
Picture
We have been asked to share the following invitation with you:

Senator Katherine Zappone is delighted to invite you to attend:


Public Meeting on ChildcareOn Wednesday 30th September at 7.30pm (sharp) in An Cosán*

Senator Katherine Zappone will chair a public meeting for the early years sector, early years educators, and for parents in Tallaght and its surrounding areas to discuss the best way to invest in early years education and care. Budget 2016 will be critical for the early years sector.  It is expected that the Government will significantly increase spending on early years education and care and the choices made now will determine the direction of state investment in the sector over the coming years.

It is therefore of great importance that the voices of those who work in the sector have the opportunity to make their voices heard.

Senator Zappone wishes to bridge the gap in knowledge between the Oireachtas and our community by hosting a roundtable discussion with early years experts and practitioners.  

The roundtable panellists will include:  

Senator Katherine Zappone (chair)  

Maura McMahon, CEO, An Cosán
Teresa Heeney, CEO, Early Childhood Ireland 
Dr. Geraldine French, St Patrick's College, DCU 
Anne Genockey, General Manager, An Cosán
Marlene McCormack, St. Patrick's College, CDU

Senator Zappone will also be presenting her policy and investment proposals, ‘An Equal Start in Early Childhood’, which was published in July.

Please RSVP to magdalene.hayden@oireachtas.ie by 5pm on Friday September 25th, 2015.
