Mission Statement Explained
There are children whose learning
difficulties or other barriers to progress
require consistent and continuous
educational influence such as can be
provided only in a special setting.
In the light of this statement we may see
our role as a deeply vital one in which we
have a duty to provide a safe and stable
and caring environment which is at the
same time functional and viable as an
educational establishment.
The types of children at Scoil Chormaic
are unique, individual, widely variable
and all require the special expertise we
can offer them. We provide the
opportunities to learn and the variety of
experience necessary, in order that they
may achieve their full potential as
members of the wider society which they
will encounter when leaving school.
The school is co-educational as it is
essential that the children have the
opportunity to develop normal
relationships with members of both sexes.
We must look very closely at the needs of
our children which we as educationalists
and people in the caring profession know
to be needs common to all individuals.
The needs being educational,
environmental, physical, emotional,
behavioural and psychological.
All these needs should have been carefully
taken into consideration before
placement in Scoil Chormaic and should
be reassessed at regular intervals.
To summarise our primary concern in
educating the children in Scoil Chormaic is
that we look to their individual needs and
act as a guide catalyst to help them
overcome their specific difficulties and to
foster those skills which they will need for
life. We offer a no limit approach to
learning!
