4th year Colaiste de hÍde students were asked their opinions on the matter.
Student, Hollie Ní Fhiach, expressed her disinterest in the idea. Reasons being that she doesn’t want to sit in a class for an hour and that with 40 minutes the “classes go by faster”.
On the other hand, 4th year student, Glen Ó Ceallaigh praised hour long classes, stating that students will be able to “absolve more information” and having less subjects in one day will help “focus more on the subject at hand”.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]A group of the 4th years gave their opinion on which they would rather. While teachers preferred hour long classes, 40 minutes won over the students by 16 votes.
One of the students said: “Hour long classes would be easier for teachers but not for students” claiming the teachers would be “greedy” to change to hour long classes as they should have the student’s best interest in mind.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Principal gives his opinion:

Following work placement experiences provided by Inspiring the Future Ireland (ITFI), 30 fifth-class students from Scoil Chaitlín Maude presented their visions for the future before the Mayor at the school on May 30.

[/ultimate_heading][vc_empty_space height=”15″][ultimate_heading alignment=”left” main_heading_font_family=”font_family:Poppins|font_call:Poppins|variant:700″ main_heading_style=”font-weight:700;” sub_heading_font_family=”font_family:Poppins|font_call:Poppins|variant:500″ sub_heading_style=”font-weight:500;”]Marking the culmination of their work placement experiences, the final presentation followed earlier interventions at the South Dublin County Chamber and at Tymon Park.

A nonprofit organisation piloted by the South Dublin County Partnership (SDCP) in 2017 and national branch of the international service of the same name, Inspiring the Future Ireland connects primary and secondary students with volunteers across a network of industries.

This term, the organisation collaborated with Mayor Emma Murphy to arrange the Chaitlin Maude students’ engagement in an enlightening work placement with South Dublin County Council

(SDCC).[/ultimate_heading][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”1896″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”1897″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”1899″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][ultimate_heading heading_tag=”h3″ alignment=”left” main_heading_font_family=”font_family:Poppins|font_call:Poppins|variant:700″ main_heading_style=”font-weight:700;” sub_heading_font_family=”font_family:Poppins|font_call:Poppins|variant:500″ sub_heading_style=”font-weight:500;”]During this experience, the 30 youths received valuable insight into the local government’s operations and had the chance to develop their own perspectives on key issues presented on Tuesday.

At the 2.5 hour-long event, the students delivered their ideas about solutions for vital county issues such as the environment – including litter and recycling, marine preservation and air pollution – as well as homelessness, public transport and local facilities such as playgrounds.

During the initial intervention at the County Chamber, the students met with the Mayor alongside chamber staff from various council departments and learned about their roles in the community, how their work affects the community and how students can become involved.

During the second intervention at Tymon Park, the students met with one of the park’s expert SDCC wardens and learned about these individual’s essential impacts on their communities.

Earlier this year, Inspiring the Future arranged work placements at Leinster House for 15 students from St. Mark’s Community School, Tallaght Community School and Deansrath Community College, who similarly presented their futuristic solutions and ideas for a brighter future.
