Schull Community College

LCVP : This programme is very much set in its structure. We currently operate 3 class periods in 5 year and 1 period in 6 year. LCVP is on the timetable at the same time for 5 and 6 so that we can operate a modular system of teaching the programme. This is very effective as it allows teachers (with particular strength) to teach particular parts of the programme. Careers plays an integral role in the 5 year LCVP programme and all students study the link modules.

We continue to monitor/review the LCVP programme so that it can be delivered to the students in a very effective manner



Year 2008-2009
We had a great day out and we were lucky that the day we visited the Bere Island Army base, marked the 70th anniversary of the changing over of the British flag/rule on the island. The islanders were preparing for a ceremony that evening, so there was major excitement on the island.
The 17 students and their teacher, were shown around the island by army officers Avril O'Rourke and Pat Lehane. The students found the army bases adn the defunct equipment especially interesting. Many were surprised to learn of the British army's presence on the island from 1797-1983 and the use of the island as a prison camp for I.R.A soldiers.

LCVP visit to Navel Vessel

On Wednesday 19th November 2008, a group of 5th years went on a visit to the L.E. Orla as part of their summary report.
Four ribs were sent to collect 19 students from Schull Pier and brought them our to the vessel accompanied by their teacher Stephen Murray. When on the vessel, they were split into four groups of five and given a guided tour of the vessel.
This was extremely interesting and the crew were very accommodating. They saw how the ship is run, it's arms, it's living quarters and were shown how sailors would deal with certain troublesome situations.
