Our School recognises the parent as the primary educator of the child.  This is promoted through effective partnership where there is trust, respect, good communication and a shared vision for the child to reach his/her full potential.

Regina Davoren & Cathy Fleming are the Home School Community Liaison (HSCL) Officers in Gaelscoil na gCeithre Maol.  In the role, they will liaise with parents, teachers and other people from the locality. Their aim is to support you all to make sure that your children are happy here in Gaelscoil na gCeithre Maol  Their primary role is to help strengthen the links that exist between home, school and community.

 

The goals of the HSCL scheme are:
