Welcome to the 2009/2010 school year.
Some important news for parents

I warmly welcome you to our school website and I hope that it succeeds in communicating to you a sense of place and life for children and adults alike here in Swords Educate Together National School.

Since opening in September 2001, our positive and collaborative school energy has enabled our school to grow from a two-teacher, twenty-pupil school in 2001 to a vertical, two-stream school today, catering for children from Junior Infants to Sixth Class.

Our journey mirrors the many challenges faced by newly opened schools in the past but the positive relationship between parents, teachers and school staff has meant that we have been able to provide the best possible teaching and learning environment for children, while at the same time progress the long-term needs of the school.

Our greatest challenge has been securing a permanent home for our school. Our school has operated in four different sites/buildings since 2001 and at the time of writing, we are confident that we will reach our ‘promised’ permanent building in 2010.

I most sincerely acknowledge all contributions from our school community and the community of Swords since 2001. As a community within a community, our continued growth and development is guaranteed by our continued loyalty to community values and to always keeping children at the centre of everything we do.

 Once again, welcome our our school website. If geography facilitates personal contact, I look forward to meeting with you. If that is not possible, I wish you abundant happiness and success.

Gerard

Principal Teacher
