Goodbye 6th Class
Today we said goodbye to a fantastic bunch of 6th Class students. Despite some unexpected time at home this year, they made the most of it and cherished their final year together in Scoil Mhuire. They demonstrated their leadership and were role models to the younger students throughout. This slideshow gives an insight into their time in Scoil Mhuire and illustrates their achievements and milestones. They will be greatly missed in Scoil Mhuire and we look forward to one more event together when they celebrate their Confirmation in September.
Slán go Fóill agus enjoy the summer holidays! :)

Class Debates
We held two class debates ...
1) PE should occur every day in schools
2) Uniforms should be removed from schools
The standard was extremely high and all the speakers represented their teams excellently. Our adjudicators had the very challenging job of deciding the winners. After much debate the winning teams were announced, along with two notable speakers.

Enjoy the well earned break next week and we look forward to another successful half-term in the lead up to Christmas.
Congratulations to all our class winners today.
