Community Education - Bray
One Book One Community: Bray
The One Book One Community project aims
to promote reading as a community activity.
The programme is run by the HSCL and
other teachers in schools around Bray and
is supported by Bray Area Partnership and
KWETB Adult Basic Education Service.
Each year a book is chosen that will appeal
to older children and to adults and a range
of events and activities are organised to
encourage engagement with reading. In 2016
young people and parents from primary and
secondary schools around Bray are reading
‘The Young Rebels’ by Morgan LLewyellen.
Family Learning programmes aim to support
the educational needs of families, support
parents to gain the confidence to become
involved in their child’s education and to
develop their own learning. They are run in
partnership with schools and community
groups and are based on the needs of parents
and other carers.
Family Learning programmes are for second
level schools too. In Avondale Community
College parents of First Years are participating
in Project Maths for Parents. This six week
course aims to demystify Project Maths and
give parents tips for supporting and extending
maths activities at home. Contact your local
Adult Basic Education Service to find out
more about Family Learning Programmes.

In a new development, parents from St.
Philomena’s Primary School and St. Peter’s
Primary School, Bray came together to
produce the ‘Busy Parent’s Guide to The
Young Rebels’. The guide gives parents a
summary of the book and tips to extend
the reading at home. The guide was
written, edited and produced by the parents
supported by tutors from Bray Adult Learning
Centre’s Family Learning programme.
