Public Meeting – Gaelcholáiste for Dundrum
November 24, 2011
Dundrum College, Sydenham Road, 29th November @ 20:00
County Dublin VEC and Bunchoiste Scoile Gaelcholáiste Dheisceart Átha Cliath invite you to a public meeting to discuss the new Irish language secondary school which will open in Dundrum in 2014. The new school will be multi-denominational, mixed gender, community based and non-fee-paying. The Co. Dublin VEC is a long established provider of Irish language secondary school education. It currently has 1300 pupils studying in its four Gaelcholáistí in Dublin.
As the best resourced, experienced provider of first class academic and technical education the VEC will be applying for patronage of the new school with the full support of the founding committee with which it has campaigned for the past 6 years for the establishment of this school. The VEC intends to open the new Gaelcholáiste in its own existing premises in Sydenham Road which will provide excellent accommodation from the start ensuring that the school community of parents, teacher and students can concentrate on the work of providing a top quality educational environment. The VEC operates within a democratic system of parent, staff and professional board membership. It’s schools also encourage student participation in decision making and focus on a child-centred education with a broad curriculum through the Irish language with which it has had proven success.
To hear more about our plans and to lend your support please attend on the night.
