This is achieved in a number of ways utilising a range of innovative, creative as well as tried and tested interventions. What makes the School Completion Programme model unique is its \u2018bottom-up\u2019 approach, which allows Local Management Committees (school-based, community, statutory and voluntary interests), to put together plans and supports that target the needs of local young people at risk of early school leaving.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Canals Cluster\u201d is the name of the Local Management Committee that St Paul\u2019s, along with three other second level schools in South Kildare, form. The committee comprises of the local co-ordinator, the four principals, the four home school liaison officers and a number of community people who work with young people. Each school has autonomy in deciding on initiatives and interventions that promote attendance, retention and ultimately school completion. The following are initiatives at St Paul\u2019s that are funded by the School Completion Programme.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Guitar Classes<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nClasses designed for beginners and advanced. Classes take place after school. Students may bring their own guitar or the school will provide one.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">St. Paul\u2019s Musical Society<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nStudents rehearse once a week after school and occasionally during school hours. They perform at school religious services, school shows and at other times through out the year.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Hip Hop Dance<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nThis is an after school activity for all students, proving to be very popular combining fun and exercise. Participating students will have the opportunity to perform in school shows.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Breakfast Club<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nEach morning from 8.15am tea, toast, cheese, hot chocolate and orange juices are available to all students free of charge.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Homework Club<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nThe Homework Club takes place each day after school for one hour.

Kildare Leader Partnership. Each year a number of 2nd year students in St. Paul\u2019s take part in the programme. The programme aims to equip young people with the personal and life skills required to reach their potential within the school system and in the wider world. An evaluation of the programme noted the improvement in self-esteem and confidence levels of students who took part. The course is delivered by the SCP Co-ordinator and a Volunteer.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Boot Camp<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nThis is a week long Summer Camp for selected students.
