School Completion Programme

Taken from the TUSLA website.

"School Completion Programme 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 via initiatives such as breakfast clubs; homework clubs; afterschool supports; mentoring programmes; and therapeutic interventions.

• Ensuring that schools have in place the appropriate procedures to monitor, identify and respond to attendance, participation and retention issue.

• Implementing transfer programmes to support young people transitioning from primary to post-primary school."

St Aidan's Parish School runs a breakfast club and a homework club as part of the School Completion Programme.The school has also put in place procedures to monitor and reward good attendance. The Home School Community Liaison (HSCL)teacher  is the main point of contact with the school.
