Description
The Sacred Heart School Tullamore was the first school in the country to have a Student Council which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year.
The concept of self determination for students was introduced by the school principal Sr Dolores Walsh who had returned to Tullamore after more than a decade in California where she had seen the format work with great results.
