Mr O’Rourke, B-Tec Support Co ordinator, St Paul’s High School, writes, ‘The project itself will allow our children to learn about the history of Europe and all that has gone before them, alongside the playing of their national Sport. It is a huge honour for our school to become the first with a history of playing Gaelic Games to be involved in a project of this size and importance. We endeavour to teach and show our children how they can learn from other cultures and respect how others choose to live their lives while also showing how proud we are of our own heritage.’<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
