A NUMBER of Moville teachers have been praised for
cutting short their Christmas holidays to help
students complete vital project work for their
Leaving and Junior Certs.
Up to 20 teachers at Moville Community College
volunteered to go back to work for four days last
week, allowing a full timetable of classes to be
scheduled for third and fifth year pupils, who will
sit State exams this summer.
Scores of students also headed back to the college
early with many completing crucial course work ahead
of mock tests next month. |
Principal Anthony
Doogan took the decision to reopen the Foyleside
school six days early after more than 10 term days
were missed in December because of the freezing
weather.
Mr Doogan was not surprised by the positive response
he received.
“I’m not surprised at all by the professional
attitude shown by the staff who have come in this
week. Moville is very lucky to have that level of
dedication in its teachers, many of whom saw it as
their professional duty to go back to work early,” |

Moville Community College Principal,
Anthony Doogan. |
he said last week.
He also praised the students, who cut short their
festive break to catch up on essential exam work. He
said the school was employing a number of other
projects, including after-school seminars and
homework clubs, to make up for days lost in
December.
“I have been extremely impressed with the students’
efforts this week. Some of them have completely
finished their projects allowing them to concentrate
on forthcoming exams,” he added.
Moville Community College also opened on the Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday prior to Christmas to
facilitate exam students. |
