Numeracy and literacy are to be implemented into every subject and the students should be inspired to improve their numeracy and literacy skills in all of the lessons. That is why the short course has numeracy and literacy as two of their eight key skills.

It was an all girls school with 310 students currently. The school was of a Catholic ethos as it was built in an old convent and was originally run by nuns at the time.

They are not currently doing the new leaving certificate PE but they are doing the junior cert short course. They had great facilities for PE. They had a huge sports hall and a store room filled with a variety of equipment. They also had access to the local GAA and soccer pitches if needed.]]> 2019-04-18 11:13:03 UTC https://padlet.com/117352983/mpa62j8qqu3s/wish/352525384 EPSEN Act 2004 117352983 https://padlet.com/117352983/mpa62j8qqu3s/wish/373268067 A quote from the Department of Education and Skills states that: "Section 2 of the Education for Persons with Special Educational Needs (EPSEN) Act 2004 requires that:

“A child with special educational needs shall be educated in an inclusive environment with children who do not have such needs unless the nature or degree of those needs of the child is such that to do so would be inconsistent with:

  • The best interests of the child as determined in accordance with any assessment carried out under this Act
  •  The effective provision of education for children with whom the child is to be educated.”
In general, educational provision for children with special needs is made:

  • In special schools;
  • In special classes attached to ordinary schools;
  • In integrated settings in mainstream classes."
This is important to consider while making any type of shortcourse.
