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.
Gerard
Principal Teacher
