Our school is part of Greenhills School Completion Programme, which aims to increase the numbers of young people staying in primary and second level school and in doing so improve the numbers of pupils who successfully complete the Senior Cycle, or the equivalent.
SCP work focuses on targeting and providing supports to young people identified to be most at risk of early school leaving and includes identifying and supporting children at risk of not reaching their potential in the educational system because of poor attendance, participation and retention through in school, after school and out of school initiatives such as
- Breakfast clubs
- After-school clubs
- Transition Programmes
- Summer Camps
- Individual and small group needs based support
- Therapeutic interventions
School Completion Programme supports schools to ensure appropriate procedures are in place to monitor, identify and respond to attendance, participation, and retention issues. School Completion Programme follows evidence-based programmes where possible. Therapeutic interventions is provided through trained professionals that are accredited and experienced. SCP works closely with families, school staff, care teams, Home School Community Liaison co-ordinator (HSCL), Education Welfare Officer (EWO) and community support services to enable us support individual students through a holistic approach.
