#31 Get over yourselves

One or two on this are getting a tad carried away with themselves there was always going to be an issue no matter who got patronage of the school not everyone was going to be happy that's life! Suggesting it's causing some sort of up roar in the community is horse radish. Anyone I've spoken to is very accepting that there was a genuine need for another COI secondary as nearest was East Glendalough (3 times over subscribed) ? Go to St.David's if the COI religion bothers you that much or is that where the problem really lie's no one wants to send their child there!

Does the issue of obtaining something by deception or false pretence not bother you in the slightest?

 

This school was presented to the parents as being a school for the community and open to children from all the seven feeder schools.

 

If some other type of school was intended then the time to set that vision out was at the time of the patronage bid.

 

The DOE need to put their foot down here.

It would be quite reasonable to re-assess the opinon of parents in the seven feeder schools on the issue of patronage given what has come to pass.
