Brazilian philosopher Paulo Freire once said; "Liberating education consists in acts of cognition, not transferals of information". Education should be a liberating process that encourages learners to engage. Our Learning Centre students created these items as part of their Junior Cert woodwork projects. A beautiful showcase of creativity and engagement. You can learn more about our Learning Centres here:
