• Portuguese Teachers Visit

  Tue 31 Oct 2017

  On Wednesday 25th of October a delegation of teachers from Portugal visited the school. They were accompanied by Lydia McCarthy part of Trocaire's Development Education team. The visit was part of the Global Schools project -coordinated by the EU, DCU and Trocaire-that Principal Johnny Tyndall has taken part in over the last two years.

   

  The teachers all come from Viana do Castelo in the north of Portugal. Mr Tyndall had visited their schools in March of this year. The project was to allow shared learning in Global Development Education between Ireland and Portugal.

   

  The teachers visited all of the classrooms and got an overview of how a small country school functions. Mr Tyndall presented them with a gift on behalf of all at Scoil Moibhi.

  In response to the imminent Storm Ophelia, the Department of Education is now informing all schools, colleges and other education institutions that they are to remain closed on Monday 16th October.

• School Closure: Tuesday 17th October

  Fri 13 Oct 2017

  *The Department of Education has closed all schools on Tuesday 17th of October 2017 due to Storm Ophelia.

   

  The school will be closed this coming Tuesday 17th of October 2017 for health and safety reasons.  The building work has now reached the stage of the roof trusses being installed.  This will involve a crane lifting the trusses over the existing buildings and walkways.  This work will take place for the entire day and is weather dependent.

   

  We apologise for any inconvenience caused but it is unavoidable in this instance.  It is not anticipated that we will need to close again to facilitate works.
