The extension is in the form of modular units for Special Educational Needs.
St. Joseph’s National School in Halverstown has received initial project approval for a new Special Educational Needs class.
This will be an open procurement modular extension to deliver a 100m2 SEN Base.
The school, located on the outskirts of Kilcullen opened on the 9th November 1959 and has seen a steady increase in students down through the years.
Fianna Fail Senator Fiona O'Loughlin welcomed the news, saying “Ensuring all children and school have access to adequate resources in order to provide the highest quality of education is hugely important. SEN classes provide children who need it with extra resources and assistance. We need to support all children to reach their full potential.”
It's expected the new modular units will be in place in September of this year.
