St. Vincent’s is a Special School for pupils experiencing Social, Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties (SEBD). We cater for thirty full-time pupils from all areas of Belfast. St. Vincent’s was established nearly twenty years ago in response to a growing need for full-time school places for an increasing number of excluded pupils.

The organisation of the school is based on the mainstream model in that each of the four class groups go to the teacher for lessons, as against the pupils remaining in one classroom and the teacher going to the class.

The full curriculum is taught at a level to suit the pupil’s needs while curriculum enrichment is provided by various school projects which are carried out with other agencies or community groups. We work very closely with other agencies and community groups and throughout the school year we usually have at least one project running. Details of our current projects are available on this website.

St. Vincent's new website launch is on Monday 16th June. The project has been funded by the Millennium Commission and is part of the "My Community project". The website provides an ideal opportunity for staff and pupils to exhibit the work of the school.

We hope that the website will help motivate pupils interest in their curriculum studies and future projects and help further their ICT skills. From a school perspective we would hope to encourage an awareness of the work carried out by St. Vincent's.

ERC Roadshow – 17th June 2003

Jonathan Stewart from the European Resource Council is to bring the E.R.C. Roadshow to St. Vincent's on Tuesday 17th June 2003. All pupils will be invited to attend and avail of the resources. We hope to encourage European Awareness. It is a great follow up experience for our Spring Day in Europe last March and an opportunity for us to introduce our citizenship programme in September. It is an ideal extension of our "My Community" project this year.
