A Friend Like Simon

Cecelia's Senior Infants started Human Rights Month a day early!  After lunch today, we read 'A Friend Like Simon' by Kate Gaynor. This was a lovely story all about having friends that might act a little differently but appreciating them for their uniqueness.  It also reminded us about how important it is to be nice to everyone - even if they don't always do what you expect!  

Our New Equality Policy!

Our theme for our human rights month is 'Equality is a Human Right - Putting Policy into Practice'.  Over the past two years, we have been working very hard on developing a comprehensive Equality Policy that encapsulates all that we do in the school with regard to promoting equality.  Our current actions and our philosophy with regard to equality is available to read in the policy below or here!
