Our School is situated in the rural parish of Mullinahone, Co. Tipperary,
Ireland. It is a two teacher school with just thirty-two pupils.
The two classroom teachers are Mrs. Teckie Brett (Principal) and Mr. Conor
Doyle. A Learning Support Teacher, Ms. Clare Halpin visits us on two half
days each week, and a Resource teacher Mrs. Linda Adair visits three days
per week.
We also have a part time secretary, cum caretaker Josephine O Connell.
The Sliabh na mBan mountain and
the Carraigmoclear Hill overlook the
school. Further information on the Mullinahone/Kilvemnon area can be found
in a school project on the Kilvemnon
page.
We aim to provide as wide a curriculum as possible to our pupils, including
subjects such as Maths, English, Irish, History, Geography, Science, Environmental
Studies, P.E., Music, Art, Drama, Irish Dancing. The children are also
given time to work on the school garden, where a variety of vegetables,
shrubs and trees are grown. Please See Link to School
Info. for details of how our pupils spend their school day.
This year 2000-2001 we are participating in a Design/IT project using
Lego materials and computer programming to design, build and control robots.
We have also taken part in the National Write-A-Book Project this year.
Check out our Senior Projects
page during the year (2000-2001) for written descriptions as well as photographs
of these projects.
We hope to keep an updated diary of what is happening in the school
and in the Parish (through the eyes of our pupils) with daily/weekly bulletins
in the Local News
