Is Gaelscoil il-chreidmheach í ina cothaítear meas agus tuiscint ar reiligiúin de gach cineál.
Pearsantacht iomlán an pháiste
Tá sé mar aidhm againn pearsantacht iomlán an pháiste a fhorbairt agus a threorú i dtreo an chirt agus na tuisceana i dtimpeallacht foghlamtha dearfach, taitneamhach oscailte. Glactar go hómósach leis an bpáiste mar atá sé; oiltear, múintear agus treoraítear é.
Cuirtear leas an pháiste aonair chun tosaigh i gcónaí agus is i gcuideachta a thuismitheoirí a thugaimid faoina oiliúint agus faoina oideachas. Dírítear ar na buanna atá ag an bpáiste a fhorbairt chomh fada agus is féidir.
Leagtar béim ar obair thairbheach, leanúnach. Tugtar faoi dhea-scileanna sóisialta, caighdeán ard móráltachta agus réimse leathan de scileanna acadúla, praiticiúla agus caithimh aimsire a mhúineadh dó trí mheán na Gaeilge
Déantar iarracht cumas labhartha agus scríofa na teanga Gaeilge a thabhairt don pháiste go nádúrtha ionas go mbeidh sé ábalta é féin agus gach is spéis leis a chur in iúl go héifeachtach.
Dírítear ar na bunscileanna; éisteacht, labhairt, léamh agus scríobh a thabhairt dó / di sa Bhéarla agus beospéis a mhúscailt agus meabhair a thabhairt dó / di ar bhunstruchtúr na matamaitice. Tá súil againn go n-éireoidh linn suim agus fiosracht a mhúscailt ann san eolas, deis a fhorbartha a thabhairt dó sa chorpoiliúint agus eolaíocht agus spéis agus suim a chothú ann sna healaíona éagsúla. Is de réir curaclaim na bunscoile a dhéantar iarracht na h-aidhmeanna seo a bhaint amach ach tugtar tús áite don Ghaeilge i gcónaí agus de shíor.
Ár dtraidisiúin agus ár gcultúr beo
Ní mar thaise neamhbheo ar chaomhnú, gan cur leis ná baint de, a shaothrófar an cultúr sin ach mar oidhreacht bheo go mbainimid féin tairbhe as agus go seolfaimid ar aghaidh chuig an chéad glúin eile agus rian ár ndearcadh féin air. Tuigfidh páiste atá ag freastal ar an scoil go bhfuil sé ag fás suas in Éirinn seachas in aon áit eile.
Cothófar tírghrá agus mórtas cine ann a thiocfaidh le saol an lae inniu. Blaisfidh sé de shaíocht na Gaeilge, feicfidh sé gur chuid den Athbheochan é féin, a scoil agus a theaghlach. Agus an féinmhuinín sin cothaithe ann beidh ar a chumas aghaidh a thabhairt ar an Eoraip agus teangacha agus scileanna eile a fhoghlaim go saoráideach fonnmhar. De réir mar a fhásann a mheas air féin is ea a mhéadóidh ar a mheas agus ar a thuiscint ar dhaoine agus ar chiníocha eile – iad siúd san áireamh ag a bhfuil cúlra reiligiúnach, cultúrtha agus sóisialta éagsúil ar fad.
Gaelscoil an Bhradáin Feasa is an multi-denominational Gaelscoil and a respect and understanding of all Religions and traditions are promoted.
The complete personality of the child
Our primary aim is to develop and guide the child’s personality towards understanding and a sense of correctness. The child is accepted respectfully as he /she is: trained, taught and guided in a positive, happy, open learning environment, whereby his / her individuality is celebrated, encouraged and nurtured. The individual child’s well-being always takes precedent and school and parents work hand in hand to educate and train the child.
Every effort is made to develop the child’s talents as far as is possible. Emphasis is placed on continuous, worthwhile work. We undertake to teach the child good social skills, a high moral standard, a wide range of academic and practical skills and pastimes. And all of those through the medium of the Irish language.
We endeavour to give the child a natural facility in both spoken and written Gaeilge so that he can effectively express himself and all that interests him. Fundamental skills in English are focussed on: comprehension, oral expression, reading and writing.
We aim to stimulate a lively interest in mathematics and lay a strong foundation for understanding its basic principles. We hope to stimulate in each child an interest in acquiring knowledge, to provide opportunities for development though physical education and sciene and to foster in him an interest in the Arts.
These aims will be met through implementation of the Primary School Curriculum but the Irish language will always be placed first and foremost.
All aspects of Gaelic, Celtic and Irish culture are promoted as an intellectual store for the pupils: music, song, games, literature, history, geography, science, way of life, folklore, and the positive relationship our country had and has with other countries.
The culture as a living heritage
It is not as an indulgent conservation of an extinct entity , without addition or subtraction, that that culture will be cultivated but as a living heritage from which we benefit and which we will pass on to the next generation with our own stamp on it. Children who attend the school will understand that they are growing up in Ireland as apart from in any other country. Love of country and pride of race will be fostered appropriate to our times. He / she will get a taste of many Irish Traditions. Armed with this self-confidence, he / she will be equipped to go forth to learn European and other languages with willing ease. As his / her respect for him / herself grows, so too will his / her respect and understanding of other people and other races, including those who have religious, cultural and social background different to his / her own.
Cruthaíonn an scoil timpeallacht ina bhfuil meas ar chúlra spioradálta an pháiste is cuma cén dearcadh atá ag a c(h)lann. Cuirimid an clár céanna i bhfeidhm le scoileanna ‘Educate Together’.
Ceithre snáith atá sa chlár sin:
Tá sé mar aidhm ag an snáith ‘Córais Creidimh’ eolas chriticiúil, tuiscint agus feasacht ar chórais creidimh agus conas mar a bhaineann siad lenár dtaithí saoil a thabhairt do pháistí.
Tugann an clár ‘Foghlaim le chéile’ eolas faoi na córais creidimh.Ní mhúineann sé go bhfuil an lámh in uachtar ag aon reiligiún amháin.
Tuigimd go bhfuil buntáistí leis an gcur chuige seo, ach nach n-oireann sé do gach clann. Mar shampla, braitheann scoil il-chreidmheach ar thuismitheoirí atá sásta ligint dá bpáistí fiosrú, agus a bheith nochtaithe do mheon reiligiúna eagsúla.Sa chás go mbíonn treoracha dochta reiligiúna á leanúint ag clann, ba cheart dóibh a bheith cinnte go n-oireann an t-éatos seo dóibh sula gcláraíonn siad sa scoil.
Creidimd go bhfuil freagracht ar thuismitheoirí agus ar eagraíochtaí pé reiligiúin is mian leo a mhúineadh dá bpáistí taobh amuigh d’am scoile. Ní fhágtar páiste ar lár riamh mar gheall ar a reiligiún áirithe féin.
Tuigimid, áfach, go mbíonn tuismitheoirí ag iarraidh ranganna reiligíúin foirmeálta dá bpáistí. Mar sin, tugann an bord bainistíochta cead d’ eagraíochtaí dheonacha ranganna a eagrú sa scoil taobh amuigh d’am scoile. De ghnáth, tacaíonn an eaglais chuí leo seo.
The school provides an environment in which the spiritual background of each child is equally respected whatever their family’s viewpoint. We implement the very same ethical curriculum as Educate Together – the Learn together programme.
It has four strands:
One specific strand aims to develop in children a critical knowledge, understanding and awareness of the teachings of religious and non-theistic belief systems and how these systems relate to our shared human experience. The Learn Together curriculum aims to inform rather than instruct. It teaches children about religions rather than teaching that one is “the right way to think”.
We understand that whilst this approach of treating religious difference in an Irish school context offers many advantages, we appreciate that there are families for whom this model may not be suitable. For instance, a multi-denominational Gaelscoil depends on parents who are happy to allow their children to explore and be exposed to different religious views and who do not regard it as their religious duty to seek to persuade others of their beliefs. In the case of families who observe strict guidelines around their children’s exposure to artwork, games or sports of other faiths, a denominational school of their conscience, or a recognised programme of home education may well be a more appropriate choice.
We believe that specific religious formation is the responsibility of parents and religious organisations outside school. Within the school we aim to ensure that no child has to be set apart as a result of their religion.
We also understand that many parents want their children to receive formal religious instruction. With this in mind, our Board of Management facilitates the organisation of voluntary faith formation classes outside school hours. These classes are usually organised with the assistance of the relevant church authorities.
