What teachers are saying about the platform!

A selection of schools using the PLN Platform and workbooks

Focus on:

Scoil Mhuire na nGael, Bay Estate Dundalk, Co. Louth.

We are delighted to welcome Scoil Mhuire na nGael Primary School, Bay Estate Dundalk, to the MFL Platform. It is a 600+ Co-ed school. Teacher Derbhile Byrne leads the MFL team in Scoil Mhuire, and the school subscribed to the PLN platform earlier this month and acquired 175 workbooks.

Derbhile says:

“Before the summer, we decided to do your summer course because I was very keen to find a suitable online platform. Honestly, I was just blown away by the platform and the workbook; it is so well structured and researched, it is exactly what I was always hoping to find! To my mind, this will allow mainstream teachers who are unsure of their capabilities to come on board.”

Derbhile and the teaching team, together with Ms Lisa Jones, Principal, are now progressing with delivering 36 lessons to senior classes, using the PLN Platform and Workbook.

As Martin Pender, Director of Education at CPD College, observed:

“I think you and your school, Scoil Mhuire na nGael have a wonderful story to tell, of what you have been doing over the past 3 years and where you are at currently in the MFL journey, all so positive, a school that is progressive, firing on and full of ‘Joie de Vivre’ for French. What you are doing in Scoil Mhuire na nGael right now can serve as somewhat of a blueprint and road map for what is possible with vision, enthusiasm and willingness.”
