Open Day took place on Saturday 22nd October. Blessed with wonderful weather we welcomed an enormous attendance of primary students and their families to view our school facilities and meet with the staff of Scoil Mhuire.
Activities on the day included maths activities, language plays, science magic shows, cooking demonstrations, snippets of the upcoming production of the ‘Sound of music’, project work in Technology and Construction Studies, fun and games in the gym as well as artistic make-up in the art room to tie in with the Halloween theme of the day.
Principal Ms Miriam Downey addressed the gathering where she outlined the caring student focused environment afforded to students in Scoil Mhuire as well as the outstanding academic track record of the school. Others who addressed the gathering included current first year students and Mrs Clare O’Keeffe who gave a very insightful talk of her experiences as a parent of past and current students in Scoil Mhuire.
Following on from Open Day we were delighted to receive very positive feedback from visitors to the school on the day. In particular the acknowledgement of the dedication of the Scoil Mhuire staff and feedback on the willing and happy disposition of our students on the day were very welcome indeed.
This positive feedback was supported with an increased enrolment for 2017 when we held on enrolment morning at the start of November. We look forward to welcoming this new cohort of students in September and working with them to ensure they each reach their full potential.
