In 2016 the school in conjunction with Realt na Mara painted a mural on the theme of climate change/climate justice. This is on permanent display at SuperValu in Skerries. There is a documentary on our website about this on the Global Citizenship page.

 

This year all of the children in the school will paint a mural on-site. The mural painting will be facilitated by artist Eimear McNally and the Trocaire Development Education team.

 

This will start with a Development Education workshop with Lydia McCarthy of Trocaire with 5th & 6th class on Friday 4th May.

On Friday 27th of April 5th our 5th and 6th class took part in the An Taisce Spring Clean. This initiative gets local communities to look after their local area. This is an area that the pupils of the school always take a big interest in. Well done everyone!

Well done to the Boys Senior Football team on making it to the Fingal League Final.  The boys and girls played St. Benedict's in the Semi-Final and won through after a great game.  The final will be played in Parnell Park and the date and time will be announced as soon as we know.

Mick Moylan was in the school on Thursday 26th of April. He performed stories in Jun/Sen Infants and 1st/2nd classes. For 3rd-6th he performed a great science show. The children learned about the different elements of science; physics, chemistry and biology.  Great fun was had as fun practical experiments were carried out. 

We had two cricket fixtures this week:

Fingal Girls Cup

Milverton played Balrothery on Tuesday 24th of April. The fixture was due to be played in the Vineyard at the Hill CC but had to be switched due to the weather.  Thanks to Balrothery the game was moved indoors to North County.  In a very entertaining game, Captain Emily O'Sullivan and her teammates played very well.  On the day Balrothery were the better team and won the game.  Well done to all who played in a very sporting game. 

 

Cricket Super League

The Boy's cricket team kicked off their season in great style on Wednesday 25th of April.  The fixture was played at North County CC and like the girl's team our opponents were Balrothery NS.  The match proved to be very one sided with Milverton scoring 109-1 and Balrothery scored 6 all out. Milverton won by 103 runs. Well done to everyone on a very sporting game. 

 

Best of luck and have fun to all those taking part.

Best of luck to the Boys Senior Gaelic team in the Semi-Final of the Fingal League.  The team is made up of boys and girls from 4th-6th class. They play St. Benedict's on Tuesday 24th of April in Balheary. Throw in is 2pm and all support is welcome. 

The school is closed this Monday 19th March -for the Bank Holiday- and Tuesday 20th March for Child Protection training for the teachers.

Best wishes from the Board of Management, staff and pupils of Scoil Moibhi to those making their Confirmation or receiving a blessing on Thursday 15th March. The ceremony starts at 11 a.m. and the celebrant is Bishop Ray Field. 

 

All candidates should be in their allocated places by 10:40 a.m. Candidates should collect mass booklets and Confirmation cards from Mr. Tyndall at the front porch when they arrive at the church.

Well done to everyone who supported our Book Fair 2018. We have raised a fantastic €1200 this year. The school gets to keep a percentage of this in the form of books which will go into the library.
