Paula Mulhall | Principal | Passionate about teaching, learning, student voice & the power of positive relationships in schools | Oide Leadership Associate
A shout out to the school secretaries across the country working flat out to help schools reopen safely. An invaluable support to principals and the whole school community. The one person the school cannot manage without for even a few hours!!
Anyone curious about what it is really like to go to school in an equality based environment is welcome to get in touch and pay us a visit. Excellence in learning and teaching, student voice and positive relationships are central to what we do. We also ❤️ grandparents 😉
Recent media reports that characterise multi-denominational / equality-based schools as schools that do not mark Christmas, St Patrick’s Day and other events are, from Educate Together’s perspective, both incorrect and misleading.

A huge thank you to the wonderful staff of Sandymount Park for going above and beyond to provide meaningful learning and connection for students remotely. Anyone who thinks teachers & SNAs are not working at the moment are wrong - they’ve never worked harder.
Visiting Ava, Méabh and Autumn. There’s a great atmosphere

Remote learning could be engaging and rewarding for students & teachers. The pressure comes from trying to deliver set material & prepare students for terminal exams remotely. A different form of instruction demands a different form of assessment
