Our school is lucky enough to have won the opportunity to participate in the Creative Schools programme 2020-22 through the Arts Council of Ireland.
The Creative Schools initiative aims to put the arts and creativity at the heart of children's and young people's lives. Our schools will be supported to understand, develop, and celebrate young people's engagement with the arts and creativity. We will draw on the range of resources within our school and the wider community, developing new ways of working that reinforce the impact of the arts and creativity on student learning, development, and well-being. Students will have a central role in the development of this process.
Over the next two years, we will be working with Creative Associate, Dr. Clodagh Emoe (Artist and Lecturer at IADT). We are very lucky to have been matched with Clodagh and over the next years we hope to celebrate and promote all things creative here at St. Marys JNS...watch this space!
