    Interesting. I was wondering how the hell this school was actually going to open in September when it had no premises, no staff, and a principal only appointed in mid-January. He either spent a few weeks seeing it as an impossible task or got a better offer very quickly, as ET started advertising to fill the position again on the 19th of this month.

    Interestingly, unlike most ET schools that have been established by a parents committee, this is a school that is being opened by Department of Education who then chose ET to be the patron body. The Dept of Ed shouldn't have let it get this far down the road unless they, at a bare minimum, had a site acquired.

    Mungret Community College was set up in similar circumstances last year but is being run extremely well and was over subscribed this year. The difference probably is Mungret CC has the ETB behind it. The Educate together school doesn't seem to have the same support and experience behind it. I went to the open night for the new ET Castletroy school last October but came away with so many questions unanswered. I would not like to be a parent of a child that has received a place there for September, I had even heard last week that the school was going into the Northern Trust building. How true this is, I do not know.

    Heard they have a two year lease on office space in the industrial estate near UL and the Troy studios.

    Also heard they will have no science subjects, hope this isn’t true for the students sake.

    Dont think that true about science as their advertisement for teachers included science!

    Their ad us a bit catchall compared to regular ads for one or two subjects. Also on the application form they ask what else you could try your hands at if required !

    Could you do the science curriculum without a lab or equipment?

    That’s good to hear, as much as I have doubts over how the ET school was rushed to announcement and the assiociated political decisions during establishment the students must have access to the full range of subjects

    Seems like the Plassey site hasn’t worked out in time for September.

    “Limerick East Educate Together looks set to open at the Salesian College at Fernbank, North Circular Road, which was purchased by Limerick City and County Council as part of the Cleeves site.”
