Le Chéile Schools Trust

 

The Le Chéile Schools Trust is a trust body acting on behalf of the fourteen congregations and over fifty schools, who wished to continue:

 

• To affirm their commitment to the future of Catholic Education
• To provide for the needs of the students and communities in the their schools
• To honour their partnership with the government in the educational system

 

Our Schools

 

In a spirit of partnership and collaboration, the Le Chéile Schools Trust supports and encourages schools to be true to the three aims outlined above.  The Trust also supports schools in promoting their individual tradition and heritage while at the same time encouraging the development of a Le Chéile identity that recognises common Catholic values and ethos across all its schools.

 

Students & Teachers

 

The Le Chéile Trust facilitates the sharing of ideas and expertise through a network of cluster meetings and training days.    Students from our different schools come together at our annual conference to participate in group activities, discussing topical issues that impact upon their education and their experience of school.

 

Parents

 

Le Chéile recognises the important role played by parents in the education of their children.  With this in mind schools are invited to include parents among the delegates at our annual conference.

 

Le Chéile, in partnership with the National Parents Council, invite Parents Associations from different Le Chéile schools to meet each other through a training programme offered at three different locations in November.

 

The Le Chéile Charter is our foundational document and offers inspiration and guidance for our work in the future.

 

The charter is available on the Le Chéile website https://lecheiletrust.ie/, which also contains the Le Chéile Hymn, regularly updated news, publications and resources.
