Congratulations to all of our school community (students, teachers and parents) who were awarded the ‘Badge of Excellence’ in the area of STEM. We were one of thirty schools who participated in this pilot programme last year. Our school has provided evidence of children’s engagement with STEM in the following areas:

1. Science
2. Technology
3. Engineering
4. Maths
5. STEM Showcase

In the feedback received, the purchase of the STEM equipment by our parents was commended and we at Scoil Mhuire wish to thank you again sincerely. We look forward to participating in this award again in the coming years and we hope that you will be enthusiastic as ever and continue to support our students, teachers and school in their work.
