A huge well done to our creative inventors in 6th class for their incredible participation in this year’s Easter Bonnet Parade! Under the expert guidance of Muinteoir Siobhan, the students showcased their ingenuity and artistic flair through a variety of imaginative bonnets.

The parade featured a delightful array of designs, including bonnets inspired by country chickens, popular movies, sporting events, and the creative use of materials. This project not only highlighted the students’ creativity but also served as a fantastic STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) initiative, encouraging them to think outside the box and apply their skills in new and exciting ways. We are immensely proud of the hard work and dedication shown by our 6th class students and Muinteoir Siobhan. Their efforts have brought joy and inspiration to our school community. Congratulations to all involved!

Over the past few weeks, our dedicated Student Council, alongside Muinteoir Karen, have been hard at work planting a variety of summer plants around our school grounds. This initiative not only beautifies our environment but also fosters a sense of community and responsibility among our students.

From vibrant flowers to lush greenery, the efforts of our Student Council are transforming our school into a blooming oasis.

A fantastic Festive night to Celebrate Murroe National School and its Community. Happy Christmas everyone!

This mural not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of our school but also serves as a source of pride and inspiration for everyone who sees it. Jennifer Lynch’s dedication to her craft and her community is evident in every brushstroke, making this mural a cherished addition to our school.

Local artist Jennifer Lynch has recently completed a stunning mural that beautifully captures the essence of our school. Her work, which adorns a prominent wall, showcases her exceptional talent and deep connection to our community. The mural features vibrant colors and intricate details, bringing to life the spirit and energy of our school environment.

Jennifer’s depiction includes various elements that are instantly recognisable to students and staff alike, from the iconic school building to scenes of students engaging in different activities. Her ability to blend realism with a touch of artistic flair has resulted in a visually striking and emotionally resonant piece.

We are thrilled to open our new outdoor classroom. This space will provide our students with a unique learning environment, fostering creativity. This project would not have been possible without the incredible generosity of our school community.
