The school was established by a group of interested parents who formed a startup group in early 2008. The School Board of Management formed in October 2008 and is comprised of Principal, teacher representative, patron representatives, parent representatives and members of the wider community. The Parents Association has also been been successfuly established.

Board of Management

Boards of Management are responsible for the direct governance of schools. Their role is to provide leadership and ensure effective management of the school. The responsibilities of the Board include developing and reviewing school policies, ensuring the quality of teaching and learning, ensuring compliance with relevant legislation etc. More information about the role of the Board of Management and the Board's workings can be found in the booklet "The Board of Management in Your Primary School - a Guide for Parents" which is available here.

Welcome from the School Principal

Welcome back to what is now our 4^th school year in existence. To the entire school body, staff, parents, children and Board of Management I say congratulations on the growth and development of Maynooth Educate Together National School to date. What a journey it has been! From humble beginnings in terms of enrolment and staffing, we now boast a school pupil population in excess of 150 Pupils and a Teaching Staff of 11, assisted by 5 Special Needs Assistants and 1 Secretary. To our teaching staff this year we welcome Angela Langan, Noreen Shire, Eoin MacDomhnaill, Roisin Cassin, Elaine Miller and Ann Tynan. We now have 6 mainstream class teachers, 2 teachers in our Autistic Spectrum Disorder Unit, 1 English as an Additional Language Teacher, 1 Learning Support/Resource Teachear and 1 Part-time Resource Teacher. I am an Administrative Principal this year. At the start of this school year I witnessed with pride the professionalism and competence of the entire staff in settling the children back to school in late August. We have many children that are new to the school in all classes, each bringing their personalities, gifts, talets and cultures to our school community. We welcome each and every one.

Our Parents Association has resumed its activities for this school year. On behalf of the school staff, I thank the Parents Association for the great work done in the last school year in fundraising and in staff support.

The term of the present Board of Management is coming to an end. Again, on behalf of the the school staff I thank the Board of Management for its tremendous achievements. It is a mammoth task to set up a school from the beginning and the growth and development of Maynooth Educate Together National School is due in part to the great commitment and work rate of Board members, past and present. Board of Management members work on a voluntary basis and are vital to the successful running of all our schools.The mirroring of this commitment by staff and the parent body has been the secret of our success.

We look forward to a successful school year with the continued support of parents and the wider school community.

Marie Hand
