Harmony Hill PS and St Joseph’s PS
Harmony Hill PS and St Joseph’s PS have been working together for many years and enjoy a very successful Shared Education partnership. Both schools are based in Lisburn, about 2 and a half miles apart. This allows them to make great use of their community venues and resources for their active learning shared activities, as they plan for and carry out activities for a large number of children.
Sharon and Nuala are currently the Shared Education Coordinators and have had many years’ experience in this role. They are responsible for the planning, delivery, monitoring and evaluation of Shared Education.
