A big thank you to everyone who recently participated in the Student Council's non-uniform day. The students raised €730 for Pieta House in aid of their Darkness into Light campaign.

Congratulations to Second Year students Cian O Brien, Ruby McElligott Egan, Christopher Donovan, Bronwyn Forde, Jack O Sullivan, Aoife Carroll, Jack Raftery and Oier O Callaghan for their outstanding effort in the areas of English, Irish, Maths and European Languages. Two students were nominated by their teachers in each of these subject areas. Today, they were announced as the 2021 UCC Plus Student Achievement Award Recipients and were presented with their UCC Plus Medal and Certificate by a very proud Principal Mr Donal O Sullivan. 👏👏Well done!

Dear student, parent, Board of Management member and members of the community,

As you are aware, Coláiste Mhuire is a Cork Education and Training Board school. CETB is currently developing a new Strategy Statement 2022-2026. Under Section 27 of the Education and Training Boards Act, 2013, Cork ETB has engaged in a consultative process, with various stakeholders. As part of the consultation process, we are inviting Board of Management members, students/learners, parents and members of the community to participate in a survey to inform the development of the Goals and Objectives which will underpin the Strategy.

A very huge congratulations to nine of our 5th years on receiving their Gold Pope John Paul II Awards this week! Missing here is Caitriona Carroll, but together with Joni Ryan, Gabriela O Keeffe, Anna Salvin, Sophie Perrott, Cathal Duggan, Michaela O Donovan, Niamh McGiff, and Kelly Jamieson, they each gave two hours a week for 20 weeks to a vast array of Parish and Social activities, changing mid way to accommodate Covid restrictions. These students got groceries and did household jobs for the elderly, they were part of the school Junior Pastoral Council, they fundraised for charities including St. V.DeP at the church gate, visited and volunteered in nursing homes, became stewards and readers at Mass, volunteered with teaching kids dance, participated in a debating competition run by the Knights of Columbanus, amongst many more Covid safe activities!

There will be a non uniform day tomorrow May 6th in aid of Pieta House. The Student Council have organised this non uniform day to coincide with the annual Darkness into Light Walk. The cost of the day is €2 with all funds raised going to Pieta House.

Hi all,

A huge well done to everyone that got out and active for Week 9 of the Coláiste Mhuire Fitness Challenge, the ‘Marathon in a Week’. We had more than 20 students completing the distance of a marathon over the course of a week which is excellent! Maybe we might have a marathon runner from Coláiste Mhuire one day🏃🏼‍♂️🏃‍♀️.

Well done to............Nicola Guinane (3rd Year). Nicola was chosen at random and completed her 5k in a very impressive time.

Please find attached a letter with information about the next cycle of the school food parcels initiative which is continuing during partial closure. The deadline for new expressions of interest is Wednesday evening.

The aim of the session is to present the facts of Leaving Cert 2021 to the parents/guardians of the learners in order for them to play a supportive role in the decision making of the students.

Dear parent,

We are delighted that our 5th Year students can return to school on next Monday 15th March. As outlined in correspondence sent out last August, our classrooms sizes are such that we can achieve the desired 1m social distancing with all subject groups and we have ensured every possible additional safety measure is put in place to ensure the safety of everyone upon opening. All of the necessary precautions such as social distanced classroom layouts, staggered breaks, restricted access to school buildings, one-way circulation systems, washing and sanitising facilities, signage and information sharing and procedures for dealing with suspected cases, remain in place.

Hi all,

Below is the challenge for Week 8 of the Coláiste Mhuire Fitness Challenge. To be entered in this week’s competition, you must complete a 5km walk/run in under 40 minutes. The more 5km’s you complete within this time, the more entries you get to the competition!
