Principal
My name is Marie Hand and I am the new Principal teacher in Maynooth Educate Together. I come to the position with 17 years mainstream teaching experience, 8 years of Special Education experience and 2 years experience as a school Principal. I am excited at the prospect of the journey we are about to embark on.
My vision for Maynooth Educate Together is that of a school which is functioning as a well-organised and well-resourced centre of learning, where all the partners work in a happy, productive environment. Our school is a community where pupils, parents, teachers and management work in a partnership for the benefit of the children. This partnership is characterised by a shared sense of purpose, mutual respect and a willingness to negotiate. The school operates under the Educate Together ethos. Therefore it is multi-denominational, co-educational, child-centred and democratically run.
Maynooth ETNS is committed to enabling and supporting all children to achieve their full potential by providing them with the knowledge, skills, dispositions and attitudes they need to become caring and active members of a culturally diverse society.
