School Activities
The Blue Star Programme teaches primary school pupils about European cultures and the EU through creative activities and projects which complement the national primary curriculum.
The idea is simple: to foster a better understanding and knowledge of Europe and how it affects the lives of Irish citizens among Irish primary pupils in a curriculum-friendly manner.
Since the first year of the programme in 2011-2012, the Blue Star Programme has had just over 1,000 primary school registrations across the country, as the programmes grows from strength to strength!
In our school we make projects based on EU countries during the school Year. We celebrate Europe Day on the 9 May and have speakers like MEP Maria Walsh and European Ambassadors visit to the school; these are called VIP visits and make up part of the Programme completion.
Our school has completed 5 years of participation and we were awarded our 5 Year Award last June.
