Dunamase College
Building Bridges Between Home and School – Dunamase College/Coláiste Dhún Másc launches its new Parents’ Teaching and Learning Newsletter – Learning Together Prepared, Polite, Productive Dunamase College/Coláiste Dhún Másc is launching an exciting new Parents’ Teaching and Learning Newsletter to strengthen the partnership between parents and teachers and to keep families closely connected to classroom life.
Already well-known for The Dunamase Daily, the school magazine, as well as its Dunamase Diaries their award-winning podcasting team that celebrate the school’s extra-curricular life and strong community spirit, Dunamase College/Coláiste Dhún Másc is now turning the spotlight on what happens inside the classroom — highlighting the innovative teaching, digital learning, and subject creativity that make the school unique.
Principal Dympna Kelly said the idea came from the school’s belief that education is most effective when parents and teachers work hand in hand:
“We’re proud of how The Dunamase Daily keeps our community informed about student life, but this new newsletter will go a step further. It’s about sharing how students learn, how we teach, and how parents can support learning at home.” Each edition will offer parents practical learning tips, insights into classroom strategies, and updates on new developments in curriculum and wellbeing. It will also highlight the school’s one-to-one iPad learning model, which continues to set Dunamase College/Coláiste Dhún Másc apart as a leader in digital education.
To complement the newsletter, the school will also host an Unlock Learning Parents’ Seminar — a special evening dedicated to helping parents understand how to best support their children’s study habits, digital learning, and overall wellbeing. The seminar will feature talks from teachers and guest speakers, focusing on practical strategies that families can use at home to boost learning confidence and independence.
Ms. Kelly added:
“The way students learn has changed enormously in the past decade. By understanding how learning happens today, parents can better support, encourage, and guide their children with real confidence.” The initiative reflects Dunamase College’s/ Coláiste Dhún Másc ethos of Care, Community, Respect, Equality, and Excellence in Teaching and Learning — values that continue to make the school a thriving and forward-thinking place for every student.
