Dear Parents/ Guardians,

School year Mass

We celebrate the start of the school year with a special mass at St. James Church, Horeswood on Sunday September 30^th at 10.30am.Junior Infants will be invited on to the altar to sing their “Off to school” song at the end of the liturgy.

First Aid Practice

Four of our teaching staff attended a First Aid course during the summer. As a result of advice given at this course it has been agreed by both staff & Board of Management of Scoil Mhuire that cuts will now be treated with water & lint only. In the case of a deep cut it will be dressed with recommended dressings.

Please remember to request an indemnity form for use of inhalers or condition-related medication.One form covers the entire period your child attends the school.

  General medicines are not administered by teachers but parents are welcome to come in and administer the necessary medication.

Health & Safety

While we have an extensive supervision policy at Scoil Mhuire we would request parents to be vigilant in supervising their children to & from school. It is not permissible for children to climb the walls at the exit gate. Please observe the parking area car restrictions. We continue to have problems with cars blocking bus access at the gate.

Football finalists

Well done to the Girls U-12 football team who put up a brave battle against Taghmon in the repeat Co. Final on Saturday. The team has shown great form over the season and were unfortunate to lose out on this occasion.Congratulations to Mary Cummins who played in the half time challenge match in Croke Park on Sunday.
