The National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NCCA) has developed a DVD entitled The What, Why and How of Children's Learning in Primary School. The DVD provides parents with insights into children's experiences with the Primary School Curriculum. The DVD shows how parents can support their child's learning at home before going to school, during primary school, and in getting ready for post-primary school. The DVD is available to view in 5 different languages. If you would like a copy of this DVD, please inform the principal.
