Colåiste Lorcåin has been involved in the current phase of school planning since October 2003. The staff works under the guidance of our regional SDPI facilitator. The purpose of this initiative is to help the school in its understanding of its role as an education provider to all the community. It is also intended to coordinate future planning to ensure the school continues to grow and meet the challenges presented in a rapidly changing environment.
There have been a number of areas addressed as priority aims under the planning initiative. Promoting an anti-bullying agenda, improving communications, catering for diversity of students entering senior cycle and examining student needs are but some of the taks that have been approached by the staff. Subject planning, including collaborative planning within subject areas was initiated more recently and has given the school much greater scope in terms of providing for mixed ability teaching, setting term exams, using resources across the subject areas.
