The Great Morning Scramble Study

What happens when a teacher or SNA calls in sick?

The 8am ring-around. The split class. The CPD day nobody could cover.

We are asking principals, teachers and SNAs across Ireland what the morning scramble looks like in their school, and what it costs when no sub can be found. Takes a couple of minutes.

Congratulations, Scoil Carmel JNS

Maria Jones, deputy principal, entered our competition in the INTO newsletter and won €500 for her school in Firhouse, Dublin 24. ABC School Supplies then offered to match it. That gives Scoil Carmel €1,000 for new reading books, and we are proud to be able to support them.

“We are thrilled with our voucher. ABC School Supplies have agreed to match it, so we will be investing in some literacy resources.”
