Fáilte ar ais
Gabhaimid fáilte ó chroí romhat ag tús na scoilbliana nua.  Cé go raibh droch laethannta saoire ag na leanaí ó thaobh na h-aimsire de, tá súil againn go mbeidh go leor laethanta geala fada romhainn go ceann cúpla mí eile.

Membership Renewal
IPPN is continuing to grow, due in no small measure, to the support and commitment of its members.  As a professional network, IPPN’s greatest strength is its members.

During the summer period, over 123 principals availed of one-to-one confidential advisory service that offers principals a listening ear from someone who understands your situation. 

We invite you to renew your membership by amending the membership form we have sent you and returning to the IPPN National Support Office.  You may pay your membership fee in one of three ways – Cheque, Direct Debit or using Paypal.

Reality of School Life
RTE’s TV programme ‘Primary Pressures’ a fly on the wall documentary on Scoil Mhuire, Coolcotts in Wexford town provided an insight into everyday life at a school that is catering for a large number of children with a great diversity of needs. The programme was an advertisement for the teaching profession as well as illustrating the importance of collaborative leadership.  This was at its best with the Principal and Deputy Principal working closely as a team. Well done to Pat Goff and Brigid Scully of Scoil Mhuire, Coolcotts.
