Senior Library Update
The Student Council received a wish list from each class for books they would like to see in the library. We used the credit from the PTA book fair from last March to purchase to books. Thanks to the PTA we now have 82 new books for the senior library.
Some recommended reading lists can also be found here on the pupil page.

Goodbye Mrs. Murphy
On the 5th of April representatives from the Student Council presented Mrs. Murphy with flowers, cards and a gift voucher to purchase some jewellery which she loves, on behalf of all the students in the school. We were very sad to say goodbye to Mrs. Murphy after 38 years of service in Scoil Mhuire. We hope she enjoys her retirement.
American Students Visit Scoil Mhuire
Today, the 20th of March, we were visited by a group of college students from America. They have linked-up with various colleges in Ireland and chose to visit us in Scoil Mhuire to look at some of our classes and to hear about some of our initiatives. They were very interested in the Student Council at primary level.
Meeting with the Board of Management
We finished term one by meeting the Board of Management of Scoil Mhuire. We sat down for a discussion together in the staffroom. We detailed our work to date this year and our hopes for the year to come. We also discussed the overall running of the school by the various management bodies.
The Scoil Mhuire Times
Please click below to see the first edition of our Student Council newspaper. As we are still in the development stage, we only provided senior students with a copy. We hope to further expand our issue for term 2. Well done to the 6th Class committee members who volunteered to type the document up over the last few weeks.
We hope to receive a broad range of documents for our issue in the new year. If you have any poems, articles, stories or quizzes, please send them to Room 13. We hope you all enjoy Issue 1 of the Scoil Mhuire Times.

Student Council Elections 2018
Yesterday, the 19th of September marked Student Council Election Day in Scoil Mhuire. Four 6th Class students were appointed as Chairperson, Vice-Chairperson, Secretary & Treasurer as recently as last week. They went through the process of sending in written applications and were then interviewed by two teachers. It was a real challenge to narrow down the competition to just four!
Following their appointments, we were ready to decide on our class representatives. Classes 3rd to 6th made their way to Ms. O'Mara's room to vote in a secret ballot. Single classes receive two representatives and double classes receive one representative each.
Having numbered their favourite candidates from 1-10 for example, 6th Class tallied all the votes using the quota system and finally we'd filled all our seats on the Student Council and Ms. O'Mara announced the representatives before the day was out.
We look forward to working with new faces this year and can't wait to hear all of their inspiring ideas to make Scoil Mhuire an even nicer place to attend school!
