Tarmon N.S. is one of 15 Irish primary Changemaker schools in the DCU Changemaker schools network. The DCU Changemaker Schools Network is focused on sharing best practice in the areas of innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship. Schools in the network frame their work within changemaking leadership practices, focused on the development of empathy, creativity, leadership and teamwork with their students. All students in Tarmon NS are encouraged to identify as Changemakers and are encouraged to be active, creative citizens who want to make their homes, schools and communities better places. Social innovation in the schools is supported as well as entrepreneurship, critical thinking, student agency, voice and participation. The network aims to support the gap between practice and theory at various levels of the education system. Every year the school has a Changemaker Day to celebrate the network and have an active student council that creates the link between student voice and teachers. All of the activities carried out in the school link to the four pillars of creativity, teamwork, leadership and empathy and develop the children’s skills in these areas.
