Scoil Mhuire, Parents' Association
Scoil Mhuire has been very fortunate in having successive Parents' Associations who believe passionately in the importance of educational provision in their local community. They hold a strong belief in promoting and encouraging their children's learning through access to a broad and balanced curriculum and facilitate this through generous investment in educational resources for the school in addition to support of educational initiatives and programmes.
The association hold an annual fundraiser. Its success is ensured by the huge contribution made by the general parental body of our school, our ever generous sponsors and without fail the tenacity, dedication, ingenuity and enthusiasm of the association itself.
Our whole school community is very much indebted to all those committee members, past and present, who give so freely of their time and support for the ultimate gain of all connected to Scoil Mhuire, Machaire Áirne. To past and present members we say GO RAIBH MÍLE MAITH AGAIBH, your work and contributions to life in Scoil Mhuire will long be remembered.

Clones Credit Union Presentation for
'Design a Cover' Competition 2016
Scoil Mhuire, Magherarney was very honoured to have Mr Brendan Jenkins from Clones Credit Union visit the school recently. Brendan came to present an award to the winning illustrator in this year’s ‘Design a Cover’ competition which is organised by Scoil Mhuire’s Parents’ Association in conjunction with their Annual Race Night. This year’s main sponsors are Clones Credit Union and they had the very onerous task of judging the entries to the competition. The winning design was by Jenna McQuaid, Rang 4 and will be used as both a poster advertising the event as well as the Race Night booklet cover. Scoil Mhuire’s Race Night takes place on Saturday, April 16th in the Skule Inn, Smithborough.

Inclusiveness in Primary Schools
The Department of Education seeks your views

The Department of Education and Skills have launched an initiative to consult directly with parents about how all children can be made to feel included and involved in their local primary school. The Minister for Education and Skills, Ruairí Quinn T.D, and the CEO of the National Parents Council Primary, Áine Lynch, joined forces to launch a public consultation on
promoting inclusiveness in primary schools. This is your chance to have your say and share your views with the Department. Download the attached file where details of the initiative are outlined and in which the method by which to communicate your views and opinions directly to the Department are outlined. The deadline for receipt of submissions is 22 November 2013. | ||
Math Homework Helpers
As part of this year's focus on Maths in the context of our School Self Evaluation work teachers have compiled a set of 'Homework Helpers' in relation to common mathematical computations. We thank the parents of our working group who reviewed our homework policy in 2013 as this idea arose from the useful and reflective discussions that took place at this time.
These homework helpers are designed to show parents the methodologies used in common mathematical computations and also share the mathematical language involved in such work. We hope to extend our range of 'Homework Helper' Booklets.
