15/11/2023

Skilly is delighted to announce its partnership with St Joseph's Community College Kilkee to deliver its market-leading SPHE/Well-being measurement and tracking solution.

St Joseph's Community College Kilkee is a secondary school in Clare and a Limerick Clare ETB Community member.

Commenting on the announcement, Agnes Hehir, Principal of St Joseph's Community College, Kilkee, said :

‘Skilly has created an innovative solution for students, teachers, and the school to track our students' engagement in developing the skills that underpin their development and Wellbeing. The lessons are delivered in SPHE.

Students engage in self-reflective learning practices aligned with the SPHE curriculum. This gives us essential data on their progress.

We are excited to introduce this programme to our community. The pilot programme will focus on the revised SPHE curriculum in Dec 2023.

Commenting on the announcement, Shane Maguire, CEO of Skilly, said,

"Students cannot learn wellbeing skills from a textbook; they need to be owned by the student, repeated and practised". Our software makes that happen in schools, safely and effectively for the students. It supports teachers in delivering the curriculum. We look forward to collaborating with St Joseph's Community College, Kilkee to support the enhanced development of their students' Well-being and life skills over the coming years"
