Loreto College , Cavan is an all girls secondary school of nearly 700 students situated approximately 15 km. south of the border between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland . We teach a full range of subjects and tend towards acedemic rather than vocational training . I teach science and C.S.P.E.(Civic , Social and Political Education ) to junior classes , Chemistry to Senior students and European Studies to Transition Year .
Our school is involved in a European Studies program with partner schools in Sweden, Denmark, Northern Ireland and Cork, in the South of Ireland. We are also currently engaged in an Easr-West project with a school near London. The East-west projects were initiated as part of the Good Friday agreement in order to foster mutual understanding between Ireland and Great Britain.
We are currently participants in a Comenius 1 project, the YES project (Young Europeans? Sure)which aims to allow studentto investigate what it means to be a young European today. Our partners for this project are Sandnes VGS, Norway; IES Llagostera, Catalunya; RSG 't Rijks, Bergen op Zoom, The Netherlands;IV Gimnazija, Zagreb, Croatia Monaghan Collegiate School, Ireland. This project has close links with the YAM project and students will carry out a numberof activities on the YAM website, and subsequently compare migration patterns from he different prticipating regions.
I am currently part of a group funded by the European Commission and supported by the Department of Education in Ireland producing a Transtion Year module on European Studies. Our aim is to pruduce a series of lesson plans and resources on the topic. I am currently working on the section dealing with Migration into and within the EU.
