Languages Connect
Our third to sixth classes have started learning Spanish as part of the Government's initiative "Languages Connect." Our
school has engaged the wonderful services of Brady Languages for the next eight weeks.
We are very excited to be apart of the Languages Connect programme which aims to -
-
Generate awareness among pupils of the range of languages used by their peers, including Irish Sign Language, in their schools and communities which may help support greater inclusion and appreciation of diversity in society,
-
Encourage uptake of languages at post-primary level,
-
Provide opportunities for increased levels of collaboration among the school community with regard to the celebration of languages and cultures,
-
Support implementation of Languages Connect, Ireland’s Strategy for Foreign Languages in Education 2017–2026
