Learning online at St. Mary's !

Our Learning Zone has always been an important part of our website.

Its sole purpose is to help all staff, pupils and parents to access useful websites and online links. When we access these links in school, it's then very easy for everyone to find them again when you search the Learning Zone on our school website !

We have many links to useful websites and online resources for all subjects.

The mother of all online learning for Irish schools is Scoilnet www.scoilnet.ie

Many years ago, when we first started getting IP user information from our school website, we could see when boys logged into our Learning Zone. After school we noticed many boys accessing the links from home. This was a great sign to us that are pupils were making good use of their IT time !

The Primary School Curriculum (1999)

https://www.curriculumonline.ie/Primary/The-Primary-Curriculum-Framework/

All classes, including the speech and language classes, follow the same curriculum

https://www.curriculumonline.ie/Primary/Curriculum/

The Primary School Curriculum (1999) outlines the contents of children’s learning—the what and how of children’s learning—for children’s first eight years in school, from junior infants to sixth class. The curriculum aims to:

develop each child’s potential to the full
encourage a love of learning
help children develop skills they will use all their lives.

The curriculum is presented in seven areas, some of which are further subdivided into subjects. These are:

Language: Gaeilge and English
Mathematics
Social, environmental and scientific education (SESE): history, geography and science
Arts education: visual arts, music and drama
Physical education
Social, personal and health education (SPHE)
Religious or ethical education is the responsibility of the different school patron bodies.

Primary School Curriculum Framework (2023)

We look forward to the implementation of Primary School Curriculum Framework (2023).

This document sets out the new developments in primary education in the short to medium term.
