They interviewed our principal Caitriona & took some video around our school. Watch the segment here. It lasts one minute, starting at 04:00. Caitriona's key message was that worry, stress and anxiety is the biggest challenge facing school communities and that parents and school staff need to feel reassured that measures are being taken to keep schools safe. Measuring the level of Covid in schools would be a logical starting point. Caitriona also pointed out that creative solutions are required, particularly in the area of staffing for schools.
We were pleased to welcome RTE Prime Time to our school yesterday. Prime Time is the flagship current affairs programme of Ireland's national broadcaster, RTE.
They interviewed our principal Caitriona & took some video around our school. Watch the segment here. It lasts one minute, starting at 04:00. Caitriona's key message was that worry, stress and anxiety is the biggest challenge facing school communities and that parents and school staff need to feel reassured that measures are being taken to keep schools safe. Measuring the level of Covid in schools would be a logical starting point. Caitriona also pointed out that creative solutions are required, particularly in the area of staffing for schools. We are looking for a hardworking, reliable and enthusiastic caretaker to join our dedicated team at Citywest Educate Together National School. A suitable candidate: - is competent, can problem-solve and takes pride in their work - understands their role as a supportive member of our school team - will be responsible for the care and maintenance of the school buildings and grounds - has a business / trade qualification (plumber, electrical, carpenter etc.) and/or experience as a caretaker: although these are not essential - will uphold our school values. The job is listed here on Education Posts.ie - please view it and use the email address listed to apply. Our school is committed to the use of Restorative Practice, which is all about building relationships through positive communication.
Over the past number of months, we have hosted two information evenings to share an overview of the philosophy. For the coming two months, we are sharing weekly videos with families via email. These videos share a restorative lens through which to view our daily interactions with our children and others. They are light and invitational - we hope they can give you food for thought. Many of the topics Michelle discusses in these videos overlap with the learning that is taking place in our classrooms. You may notice that your child recognises some of the images/ language shared with you by Michelle. We hope you enjoy and benefit from this resource as much as we are! |
