My name is Mr. Flood. I am relatively new to the school as I only joined in September 2022 with the intention of only subbing for a couple of days but ended up loving working here so much that I decided to stay permanently. As well as being the teacher in Room 2, I am also the IT coordinator for the school and one of the assistant principals. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Science and a postgraduate diploma in Primary Teaching. I have been teaching since 2011 and am passionate about building up children’s confidence and getting them to realise their true potential. As well as teaching, I also facilitate summer courses for the PDST that help embed technology in the primary classroom. Aside from educational technology, my other key areas of interest are wellbeing, drama and maths. I am also a very proud father and a keen sea dipper.
| Hi, my name is Marsha Mancini and I started working in St Oliver Plunkett in 2022. I was born in Italy but spent most of my summers growing up, in Boston USA, visiting my grandparents. I went to college in Boston and earned a Bachelor of Science in Counselling/ Psychology. I came to Ireland in 2002 and worked for years with children and adolescents with learning difficulties who were living in group homes. I then moved on to the area of Education in 2016 and have been working as a Special Needs Assistant since then. I am enjoying working in school and particularly like seeing the progress the kids make, both emotionally and academically. I have a keen interest in wellbeing and a natural inclination to see and approach a child’s school experience in a more holistic way. |
