Principal's Yearbook Article May 2009

E-mail Print PDF

Welcome to the Yearbook 2009 . It is a great honour and privilege for me to write the introduction to our Yearbook, which offers us a very valuable opportunity to reflect on an excellent academic year for our school community. This has been an historic year with the retirement of our esteemed Principal, Mr. Brian Mc Namara last September and the ensuing changes in the Management of the school. We welcomed Miss O’ Brien as our new Deputy Principal and in the short time she has been with us she has become very part of our vibrant school community. We bade farewell to Ms Harkin and Mr Lavery who had been Irish and Art teachers respectively in the school for many years. Both are greatly missed in the Holy Child but I am assured that they, like Mr Mc Namara, are enjoying retirement to the full.

Newsflash

Article in Irish Times Jan 2009

Holy Child, Sallynoggin, Dublin, provides more support for special needs students than any other school in the city, topping the recent Irish Times list. Principal Eileen Morris is determined that inclusion permeates the ethos of the school, writes LOUISE HOLDEN

HOLY CHILD Sallynoggin transfers students to UCD, NCAD, DIT, DCU and Mater Dei. The school has a science block, art studios, soccer pitches, tennis courts, a sports hall and a dance studio. Famous for its arts and music division, the school offers dance tutorship for all students with RTÉ choreographer Pat Howe. Every student gets a chance to play the instrument of their choice in the school band.
You’d pay a lot to send your child to a school like that, wouldn’t you?
