West Cork Education Centre, in collaboration with RTE Junior and Victor Hayes, Drama Facilitator recently announced that the ‘School Playtime’ Initiative would be available to schools again this year. We are delighted to announce that our application was successful and the pupils from 5^th and 6^th class have been selected to participate in the RTE ‘School Playtime’ Initiative.
The Broadcasting Commission of Ireland has granted funding to support this Initiative.

We will have the opportunity to devise, record and air our own short Radio-Play on the station’s RTE Junior Radio.

Pupils will learn how drama works on radio, creating a new script, microphone & recording techniques, sound effects, the editing process and more. A sound-editing workshop for teachers will also be organised as part of the project.

Our radio play will be broadcast during 2015.

We are delighted to inform you that our school was successful in meeting the criteria for the Creative Schools Award 2014

The Association for Creativity and Arts in Education wishes to celebrate the work done by the participating schools and will  present the Awards to the successful schools in the near future.  Read all about the process in our drama blogs.

FÍS is a successful film project currently thriving in primary schools across Ireland. The initiative encourages children to explore the medium of film in the primary classroom developing essential skills in moving-image literacy, communication, teamwork, visual arts and even numeracy …… oh yes, and it’s also lots of fun!

The pupils of 4th, 5th  and 6th have a script complied and hope to commence filming outdoors this Friday – weather permitting!
