Yesterday you received a text message, alerting you to a new circular which has serious consequences for the appointment of permanent teachers.  We have outlined below some of the key questions that are most likely to be asked by Principals making a permanent appointment in their school.  We trust that this will help you if you are currently making appointments.

E-scéal 237 - The end of another year

Making best use of the Extra Hour
From September next, schools will have the equivalent of one non-contact hour per week.  IPPN is putting together a possible menu of options that you may present to your staff for consultation, and subsequently to your Board of Management for approval.  This is a rare opportunity to create time and space where you as Principal can have uninterrupted, high quality time with your staff for planning and organisational purposes.  It is critically important that we put best practice in place and harness the opportunities that this hour provides.  If you have suggestions on how best to use this time please send your ideas to Páiric Clerkin (
pairicclerkin@gmail.com), who is leading this project for the Executive.
