rte to broadcast school on tv
and you could be featured!
As you are all probably aware, RTÉ Home School Hub started on Monday 30th of March and every day you are presented with three short class segments aimed at 1st and 2nd class, 3rd and 4th class and 5th and 6th class. All of the classes start each morning from 11am to 12pm, so plenty of time to get a solid breakfast in and maybe a quick walk. After the class, you are directed the to fun content and projects on rte.ie/learn and the RTÉ Player.
And then, it’s the kids’ turn to takeover, as RTÉ Home School Extra kicks off at 4.15pm where children from all over the country can reconnect by uploading and posting video messages and content.
And this is where you come in!!
Scoil Mochua is full of very talented and skilled children - from sport, to music, to art and even future scientists and engineers. If you have a specific talent or skill that you think is worth teaching to other children then it’s your time to shine! Firstly, you need to talk to your mam, dad or another responsible adult at home and seek permission to do this. Secondly, ask them to record you performing/teaching your unique talent or skill. Finally, keep an eye out to see if you make it onto the big screen. And if not, not to worry. It just means that RTÉ received a huge amount of videos, and it’s impossible to showcase everything!
Here is the first episode of the RTÉ Home School Extra showcasing previous examples: https://youtu.be/IrUebrLPEOI
Here is the link you need to upload your content: https://www.rte.ie/learn/2020/0329/1127121-share-your-content-with-the-home-school-muinteoirs/
REMEMBER: you need to seek permission from your parents or a responsible adult first.
Best of luck you talented bunch!

Welcome to our school website. We are very proud of it and we hope you enjoy your virtual tour of the school. Our parents are our partners in education and their ongoing support helps to make Scoil Mochua the thriving, busy, happy school that it is. First and foremost, the website was designed as a window for our parents into our school and into classroom life. We want to share classroom stories and school life with our partners in education. We feel that it is important to share these precious moments from the children’s school life - we know they generate smiles and warm the heart! School life for our children is so varied, and the children are exposed to so many exciting learning opportunities. We love to capture these on camera and post them on the website so that families can chat about them at home.

Of course, the website also attracts visits from grandparents, aunts, uncles and friends. We are delighted and proud to welcome all of you. Above all else in our school, we value the children’s happiness and their enjoyment of learning. Their energy, inquisitiveness and level of engagement in learning never ceases to amaze us. I hope some of this jumps off the pages as you browse through the photographs of class activities and school events.
For those of you who are history buffs, or are simply interested in learning more about Celbridge, you will enjoy reading about the history of Celbridge on the website. Our lovely village is steeped in history – you will be amazed!
And, of course, the website is an excellent communication platform. Read some of our policies, the school calendar, information on our super Parents’ Association, useful educational links to enhance your child’s learning, details on school sporting events – it’s all there. You can also follow us on Twitter @scoilmochua for updates on the wide variety of learning that happens in Scoil Mochua.
Happy Browsing!
Kind Regards,
Catherine Carragher, Principal.
