Le Chéile Educate Together Percent for Art Scheme

admin — Tue, 09 Nov 2010 17:13:27 +0000

Le Chéile Educate Together School was launched on September 1st, 2001 with 48 children. Since then it has grown steadily and now has 428 children in attendance and a staff of 30.From 2001 until 2009 we were housed in an ever increasing warren of pre-fabs adjacent to Drogheda Grammar School. On September 1st, 2009 our beautiful new school building was opened.

An Educate Together School is:
• Child centred
• Democratic
• Mixed gender and
• Multi-denominational

Each child is valued for his/her uniqueness and no child should feel discriminated against by virtue of faith, economic, social or cultural background. “No child should feel like an outsider” Our school policy is one which promotes celebration of difference and “Learning Together to Live Together”
The % for Art scheme is a scheme which allows the occupants of new buildings to develop an art project appropriate to the particular new building. A committee has been set up which involves all the major stakeholders in the building; parents, staff, builder, architect, our local arts officer and two artists. From this group a selection committee is chosen who select from the applicants for the project and draw up a shortlist. An interview panel is also selected who interview the shortlisted group and decide on the winning applicant, with the approval of the entire committee. The successful project for Le Chéile will be announced at the end of February 2011.
