Gaelscoil children have the ‘write’ stuff
Feabhra 9, 2015
Daltaí ó Ghaelscoil an Chaistil ag cleachtadh do Lá Náisiúnta na Lámhscríbhneoireachta.
Students from Gaelscoil an Chaistil have proved they have the ‘write’ stuff when it comes to near handwriting!
Last week saw pupils practising their handwriting skills in preparation for National Handwriting Day this week.
The school held a handwriting competition for each class which saw children link their love for reading, handwriting and technology. Some children chose their favourite book, favourite poems, and their favourite piece of written work to practise their handwriting. As well as using the traditional pen and paper method, some pupils experimented with a more modern and interactive method; the interactive whiteboard.
“In conjunction with National Handwriting Day, the children produced different pieces of writing and put their excellent ICT skills to use enjoying interactive handwriting activities on the interactive whiteboard,” said a spokesperson for the school.
“A winner from each class was selected and was awarded a certificate and £10 An Cheathrú Póilí, Cultúrlann, Béal Feirste voucher.
“The children thoroughly enjoyed taking part in the competition and set themselves a personal target to maintain a high standard of handwriting in work across the curriculum.”

Nelson McCausland says schools letter ‘weaponised Irish language’
Feabhra 9, 2015
A letter inviting primary schools to develop an Irish language study programme shows how Sinn Féin has “weaponised” the Irish language, DUP MLA Nelson McCausland has said.
Mr McCausland said Sinn Féin was “stepping up its cultural war”.
Sinn Féin’s John O’Dowd, who is Stormont education minister, said Mr McCausland’s claims were “nonsense”.
Mr O’Dowd said he had no personal involvement with the letter.
‘Rant’
“It was a routine departmental matter until Nelson released his rant,” he told BBC Radio Ulster’s Talkback programme.
“Officials confirmed to me that as part of the normal day-to-day running of the Department of Education, and in engagement with the curriculum advisory body, they sent out a letter to all schools asking them would they be interested in this project.
“There is no John O’Dowd agenda, there is no Sinn Féin agenda, there is no other agenda.”
The letter was sent by the Council for the Curriculum, Examinations and Assessment
Mr McCausland told the BBC he had issued his press statement after being contacted by a number of school principals who raised their concerns with him.
“Principals feel very nervous about dealing with something like this because at the end of the day, he who pays the piper calls the tune, and if you’ve got a bid in for development for your school, you’re not going to go out of your way to offend the education minister,” he said.
‘Borrowed’
Mr O’Dowd said this was “complete rubbish”, and said Mr McCausland had used “disturbing language” in his statement.
“He’s attempting to intimidate schools in unionist communities away from this project, and that’s his agenda,” he said.
Mr McCausland, who is a former Stormont culture minister, defended the wording of his statement.
“We are familiar with their phrase about every word spoken in Irish being another bullet in the freedom struggle, and they also referred on one occasion to the terrorist war being the peak of the cultural revival,” he told the BBC.
“I think the language that I used was simply borrowed from Sinn Féin’s own language.”
The Council for the Curriculum, Examinations and Assessment said it had written on behalf of the Department of Education to non-Irish medium primary schools “to explore the feasibility of developing a programme of support for the teaching of Irish and aspects of a shared cultural heritage”.
“This followed a previous survey which showed interest from a number of non-Irish medium primary schools in developing this area of their curriculum.
“The decision to engage in such a programme is a matter for individual schools, led by the support of governors and teachers, in line with their guiding ethos. Such a programme would only be taken forward by CCEA based on demand and available funding.”

Press Release:
The Minister for Education and Skills, Jan O’Sullivan, TD, today announced that seven new primary schools are to be established in the next two years.
Announcing the new schools, the Minister said: “My Department is predicting a continuing increase in primary school pupils up until at least 2019 in parts of the country”.
“To meet the continuing growing population of our primary school going children, we will have to establish seven new primary schools as well as extending a number of existing schools.”
Of the seven new schools, four will open in 2015 with the other three opening in 2016.
Cork, Dublin, Galway and Wicklow remain areas of a high rate of primary school going children and this is where the new schools will be located.
There will be one school in Cork, four in Dublin, one in Galway and one in Wicklow.
The basic construction costs for the seven new schools will broadly be in the region of €24m. This level of investment by the State will support some 240 direct jobs and 48 indirect jobs.
Patronage for two of the schools starting in 2015 has already been decided under a previous patronage determination process. A patronage determination process will shortly be run for the other two schools starting in 2015. A patronage determination process for the 2016 schools will be carried out later this year.
These seven new schools will be in addition to 20 new primary schools that opened since 2011. The seven new schools between them they will cater for almost 3,000 pupils when fully developed.
The schools will be established in line with the arrangements and criteria announced in June 2011 for patronage determination.
Minister O’Sullivan said: “The establishment of new schools provides an opportunity for patrons to apply to run the schools. The criteria to be used in deciding on patronage of the new schools place a particular emphasis on parental demand for plurality and diversity of patronage. Parental preferences should be at the centre of considerations about the type of school to be recognised. The patronage arrangements in place provide that patron bodies proposing schools at either primary or second level will be asked to provide evidence of demand.”
Minister O’Sullivan continued: “This approach emphasises my commitment to ensure the implementation of the commitments in the Programme for Government on moving towards a more pluralist system of patronage at primary level. “It also builds on the work of the Forum on Patronage and Pluralism in the Primary Sector.”
The Department will be contacting patrons shortly to commence the patronage determination process for the 2015 schools concerned.
Details of new schools to be established in September 2015
• Carrigtohill, Co. Cork
• Pelletstown/Ashtown, Dublin
• The Knocknacarra area of Galway City
• Greystones, Co. Wicklow
A patronage determination process was previously run for the Dublin school and the Knocknacarra school.
Educate Together will be patron for the Dublin school.
Lifeways Ireland (Steiner Model of provision) will be Patron for the Knocknacarra school.
A patronage determination process will be run shortly for the Carrigtwohill and Greystones schools.
Details of new schools to be opened in September 2016
• Goatstown/Stillorgan, Dublin
• Cabra/Phibsborough/Dublin 7
• Drumcondra/Marino/Dublin 1
A patronage determination process for these schools will be run later this year.
Details on the arrangements and criteria for establishing new schools are available on the Department’s website
New Schools Establishment Group
The patronage determination process for new schools is overseen by the New Schools Establishment Group.
This Group was set up in 2011 to advise the Minister on the patronage of new schools following its consideration of a report prepared by the Department on the applications received.
The Group is chaired by Dr. Seamus McGuinness (retired senior lecturer in the Education Department at Trinity College Dublin) and also includes Ms. Sylda Langford (retired Director of the Office of the Minister for Children) and Prof. Seán Ó Riain (Sociology Department, NUI Maynooth).
Next steps
The Department will shortly inform patron bodies of the details of the 2015 schools requiring a patronage determination process. The patron bodies can then make applications for consideration. Department officials will draft a report based on the applications received for the consideration of the New Schools Establishment Group and it will submit a report with recommendations for consideration by the Minister.
