CULTURAL DIVERSITY IN OUR SCHOOL

Cultural diversity is a major feature of our school life and we strive to celebrate difference of any sort in every way possible.

We have children from 18 different countries integrated into our school, including those from Hungary, Nigeria, Poland, Portugal, Moldova, India, Malaysia, Latvia, Lithuania, U.S.A., Scotland, England, Zimbabwe, Romania, Cyprus, Jamaica, Philipines and China.

Our English Language Support teacher does much work with these children in facilitating them to become confident and competent users of the English language.

Below are the national flags of these 18 countries.Try and guess which flags are from which country.

HINT: If you get stuck, move your mouse over the picture of the flag and it will tell you the country.


The children have a variety of greetings in their native tongues. Click on the audio links below to hear them say “Hello” in some of their different languages...

Children's impressions of Ireland:
In Ireland I go to school and I have lots of friends. My friends are Conor and Jack but I like everyone in my class. My favourite game at school is football. I like my school because it is a green school. The weather in Ireland is cold and wet but in Poland it is warmer. When I came to Ireland three years ago I could not speak any English but now everyone tells me I am very good at it.
