Here in Scoil Mhuire, every student is motivated to do their best and achieve their full potential. There is a strong sense of positivity throughout our school environment from teachers, to staff, to students. Student development in both education and extra-curricular activities is highly encouraged. From our extensive clubs in the school, including sports teams, Gluais, choir and wide range of lunchtime clubs, all girls are given the opportunity to grow and expand their skill set. As students enter first year, they are helped by a group of fifth year students known as Athrú. These girls act as big sisters to the new first years, helping them navigate the new school environment and bond with their new classmates. Athrú are dedicated to making the first years new school life easier, by working with staff and students to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. I’ve found from my time in Scoil Mhuire, that there is always a bright atmosphere of people helping you to achieve your best. You will build confidence, character and friendships over the next five to six years, like you won’t even believe. I hope you grow to love your time in Scoil Mhuire as much as I have loved mine

Scoil Mhuire is a welcoming and supportive environment where every student is surrounded by opportunities and supports to fulfil their potential, whether that be in academics or extra-curricular. “Do your best, that’s all you can do” is a phrase you will hear countless times throughout your time in Scoil Mhuire, it’s Ms. Maher’s mantra and agreeably so. Each student is motivated to do their best in every area of life, both inside and outside the classroom. Our school community is one of encouragement and inclusivity. There really is something for everyone from lunch time clubs to Irish debating, student council, numerous sports teams such as camogie, football and equestrian, music groups and a multitude of other clubs. I encourage you to get involved in anything that catches your interest and immerse yourself in our school community. Starting secondary school is a big change but is made so much easier by the support and guidance of Ms.Maher, staff, students, Athrú and the whole school community. Everybody is here to help so don’t be afraid to ask if you’re unsure about anything! Throughout my years in Scoil Mhuire, I’ve grown to appreciate the emphasis put on doing your best. I’ve made lasting friendships through class and sport as well as memories that I will cherish. I hope you find your years in Scoil Mhuire as enjoyable as I’ve found mine
