Principalmeet 2019 is the perfect opportunity to maximise the value of your time spent at conference. It is an opportunity to listen to principals share good practice, practical ideas and personal insights into primary education and leadership. Each speaker will have approximately 5 minutes to speak on their given topic so participants will leave with several examples of good practice. It is informal but organised. You can simply relax and listen or present.

Facilitator: Dara Glynn 

Dara is from Galway and is the principal of CBS Primary in Ennis. He has a degree in Environmental Science (NUI Galway) and trained in Mary I.

Cork and CBS Primary in Ennis). His wandering career as an educator is easily surpassed by his record as a primary pupil, attending 7 schools in 3 countries (including a year of home-schooling). He is currently in the throes of a research Masters in NUI Galway.
