Projects for 2017

Ms McGrath and our new Green Team will be informing the school during this year of the importance of Biodiversity - in our school, and in the wider community.

We are also loyal to our Fourth Green Flag so - WALK ON WEDNESDAYS!!

Award for STEM

We are working diligently towards our Award for Science and Maths Excellence 2017/2018. We are one of only 16 schools in the country to have achieved this award for the last 13 years in succession which I think you will agree is a huge accolade for us. This year we are working towards another School Plaque. All classes in the school are participating in the different catagories: STEM: Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths and lastly the Showcasing of the school's work. Well Done, a chailíní. Lean oraibh leis an obair.We celebrated Science Week 2016 during the week of the 14th November. Fifth class hosted a worhshop for the school and parents on Monday 14th. We all enjoyed the occasion.

Well Done, Girls on all the COOL Investigations!!

Engineers Week 2017

We celebrated Engineers' Week in our School. We all welcomed Engineer Andrew to Mary Queen Of Ireland. He met Second class and Ms Brosnan and Third class and Ms Shearin. The theme of the week was "Engineering Our Future". Both classes were presented with the challenge of building bridges. All of the girls thoroughly enjoyed this challenge and we are hopeful that we have budding engineers for the future!!!

Space in our Lives

On Tuesday, 25th January, the 5th Class girls were invited to attend a "flight call" from Thomas Pasquet - a French astronaut who is presently on the International Space Station. They were joined by other schools from Limerick, Clare, Tipperary and Kildare. It proved to be a marvellous experience for all those who attended.

As part of this event, there was a poster competition based on the theme of "Space in our Lives" . The 5th class girls were thrilled when it was announced that their poster won.. Well Done, Girls. Their poster also appeared on the homepage of the European Space Agency Website.

Our School Orchestra

We just love being part of the School Orchestra. Our group is comprised of musicians from different classes throughout the school who play a variety of instruments. We have flutes, violins, accordions, xylophones, tinwhistles, recorders, and chimes in our orchestra. We really look forward to the school masses and concerts during the year where we get the chance to perform for the rest of the school and for the school community. Mrs. Kidney is our conductor/tutor and we love when she assembles us for the various musical events in our school.
