Scoil Mhuire has been running a very successful Mentoring Programme since 2022. The programme is open to all Leaving Certificate students who wish to set academic goals for the year and receive guidance and support in achieving them.
Each year, students are invited to voluntarily sign up, while Scoil Mhuire teachers generously volunteer to act as men-tors. This partnership helps students stay motivated, organised, and focused throughout their Senior Cycle journey.
Students and teachers will meet regularly to review progress, reflect on strategies, and make adjustments as needed.
