Second Level Curriculum Evening


We concluded our series of Curriculum Evenings last week when we held our evening for parents of pupils working at second level within Curriculum for Excellence. An update on Curriculum for Excellence was given by Mrs Maher, followed by Mrs Nicholson's presentation and activity on "Big Writing" which is now used across the whole school. Our parents devised a very creative story with many connectives, not to mention several splashes of humour!
Mrs Cleary, Mrs McKay and Mr Keenan then walked parents through active learning tasks in maths to show them the skills progression expected within the same outcome at second level. The evening was rounded off by a presentation by Mr Johnston and Dr Phelps from St Benedict's High School, linking into third level and beyond. Thanks to all those who attended & we hope you found the evening informative.
