“The Sanctuary initiative means quite a lot to me as I feel the importance of being welcomed as a migrant in Ireland, which is important to me as a teacher and also important to the students. I have witnessed how  this initiative has improved student voice in our school and I would say my voice as a migrant teacher as well. It is not easy being a migrant/refugee, but it is initiatives like these which make a huge difference in our lives”

“Being involved with SoS is the most fulfilling things I have undertaken in my career. It has opened my eyes to the beauty of celebrating diversity. The school of Sanctuary experience is joyful and heartwarming. I am so proud of all of my students who have taught me and each other so much.” 

“Honestly for us here in Nano Nagle College, being a School of Sanctuary and having teachers as Sanctuary Ambassadors is something that is engrained in the culture of our school. We understand that Champion Sanctuary status is not a tick-the-box exercise and instead is inherent in all that we do here”
