  11. Why an Integrated School? Windows Live MovieMaker film I composed about Integrated Education in Northern Ireland Our education system separates children according to their religion! Integrated schools were started as a means of addressing the violence in Northern Ireland.. Religious differences were at the heart of the violence If the children could be educated together, then we could make progress on improving the lives of everyone by breaking down suspicions and sectarianism. Integrated schools break these religious barriers, bringing children together for a common purpose – understanding each other, building bridges and to giving an innovative education! An Integrated Primary School gives parents the chance to leave the ‘old ways’ of Northern Ireland behind and make a new beginning!

  12. Millennium Integrated Primary School(School Website) Barry Corrigan Who am I? I am the Vice-Principal, Primary 7 (age 10-11years) teacher and ICT Co-ordinator. Why do I do it? I have a keen interest in computers, especially gaming, and have ambitions of having this medium accepted more into mainstream interest through the use of the Nintendo ’Wii’ for Dyspraxic children; incorporation of Nintendo DS into maths classes and future use of Sony’s PS3 game ’Little Big Planet’ for collaborative game design. Have a look at some of the regional television coverage we have received highlighting our innovative use of technology - VIDEO Who are we?(Link to school prospectus) Millennium Integrated Primary School opened in September 2000 with just 10 pupils in a house in Newtownbreda Park, Belfast. Five years later it opened its building on the present site on the Belfast Road, Saintfield. The school now has 226 pupils, including a Nursery Unit which opened in September 2008. Our kids made this excellent video about the school’s history in 2007 PART 1 PART 2 We like to feel that we develop independent, creative and interested pupils.
