| HOME SCHOOL
The Department of Education and Science has provided St Farnan's
Post Primary School with a home-school service. The correct
name for this feature of the school is Home School Community
Liaison, but this is often shortened to Home School. The
Co-ordinator is Mr. Gerard Fagan, one of the senior staff of
the school. He is assisted by a Local Committee, which comprises
our own Principal, the Principals of our feeder Primary schools,
representatives of both Government and Community Agencies and
Parents.
What is Home School?
Home School is part of our service, which seeks to build and
support the partnership that exists between Parents, School and
Community in order to maximise the benefits of education for your
child.
Home School activities include
Courses for our Parents:
- Arts and Crafts
- Christmas Cooking and Flower Arranging
- Helping your child with Homework
- English for Parents
- Basic Computer Skills
(These are free of charge and designed to increase Parental
involvement with the school)
Home Support:
- Home visits are made to improve contact with the school.
- To support families who might have a particular need, for
example an illness in the home, which might affect their
son/daughters performance in school.
Community Links: - The Health Board
- The Garda Juvenile Liaison Officer.
- OAK, Fas, KYS and other Community Groups
In Home School:
Partnership is the key concept
Supporting Parents is the key task
