Christmas was celebrated in our school this year with a Carol Concert in St Mary's Church, Knockraha.
The whole school community came together with the parents and families of the children to celebrate the nativity story through singing, music and drama.

Our wonderful singers backed by musicians Ms Hennessy, Ms Mulcahy and Adam Mulcahy.

Our singers were also assisted by the recorder players of 5th and 6th class.

Of course we can't forget our fantastic narrators who told the story to our whole congregation.

6th Class Graduation

6/21/2017

It is with a mixture of happiness and sadness that we gathered to say goodbye to our 6th class as they scatter to various secondary schools to continue their education.

Mass was celebrated with Fr Anthony and as always Mrs O Brien our 6th class teacher had prepared a music treat for the guests; staff, children, families and members of the Board of Management.

After a slideshow showing all the happy times spent here in Scoil Mhuire each child was presented with a special gift.

All the guests enjoyed tea and coffee and cakes provided by the 5th class parents.

Even there were a few tears, a very enjoyable time was had by all!

All the staff here in Scoil Mhuire would like to wish this group of fantastic young people all the best in their future. We know they will go out into the world and do us and their families proud!
