Scoil Oisín Community National School - Enrolment from 10th March
Scoil Oisín Community National School will open in September 2008 in the Phoenix Park Racecourse Development (adjacent to St Brigid’s GAA football grounds). Initially, the school will open with one junior infant’s class.
Scoil Oisín is a multi-faith school. It is the policy of Scoil Oisín to respect, celebrate and recognise diversity in all areas of human life. Children attending Scoil Oisín will be taught and encouraged to view diversity as something which reflects the community from which the children are drawn. The school will endeavour to encourage the children committed to its care to have a pride in what makes them different and a belief that difference, when respected and valued, gives strength and vibrancy to the total school community and the wider community in which they live. As part of its ethos, Scoil Oisín welcomes children from all faiths and none. In common with the other Community National Schools under V.E.C. patronage, Scoil Oisín will recognise the wishes of parents to have their children receive religious education, or morality based education as an integral part of the school curriculum.
Scoil Oisín Community National School is a developing school and will cater for the full range of Primary classes, from junior infants to sixth class, as the school grows. When completed, Scoil Oisín will be a 16 class school.
Registration for the 2008/2009 school year will take place from Monday 10 March 2008.
