Welcome to our school website

As principal of Our Lady of Mercy Convent School, I am very proud to welcome you to our website which I hope will give you some insight into the special qualities that make our school an inclusive, happy school and a progressive hub of learning for all our pupils.

It was absolutely great to welcome the girls from Junior Infants up to Second Class back into school today and everyone seemed so excited and happy to be coming in the gate, pupils teachers and even the parents!! We hope to see the remaining classes return in a few weeks time but in the meantime, they will continue with their remote school work which has been going really well to date.
For further information regarding the partial reopening of our school, please see the relevant and important documents below.

An ice story !!!

The Green Committee want to thank all those who contributed so generously to their recent fundraising campaign to adopt some penguins from Dublin Zoo. Thanks to the additional support from the Parent's Association, we are delighted to report that a total of 10 penguins have been adopted giving each class a penguin of their own to love and cherish.
Thanks to the foresight and vision of Ms Doyle and the practical support from Ms Ni Fhaoláin, Ms Cumiskey, Ms Murray and Ms Boyd, we are all reaping the benefits from using Google Classroom and Google Meets in keeping us all connected during lockdown.

A wonderful reminder of our Special Christmas Carol Service

A huge, huge thank you to Orla Ni Fhaoláin and Elaine Cumiskey for all the time they gave to the planning, editing and recording of our first ever Virtual Carol Service which we hope you all enjoyed.

Yet more great fundraising from 6th Class

A huge 'well done' to the girls in 6th Class and their teacher Mrs Parkinson for their particiption in this year's Readathon for MS Ireland. Not only did the girls get to read from some of their favourite books, but they also raised a staggering €584 to support the work and research carried out by MS Ireland for those suffering with this condition.
While the Covid -19 pandemic had led to unprecedented disruptions in all aspects of life, it certainly hasn't stopped us from reading and here in school we continue to encourage everyone to read.
Thanks to the work and commitment of Mrs Parkinson,  6th class attended the online workshop with Mags Harnett entitled 'Depicting Diversity' which aims to celebrate diversity in our society and focus on the book 'Colour of People' as reflected in the pictures here:
Ms Doherty's First Class girls all enjoyed the online workshop with the author Sadhbh Devlin who read extracts from her book 'Geansaí Otto', and told them about the lovely knitted display based on the characters in her book which is on view beside the Lexicon Library. Senior Infants loved working remotely with the illustrator of this book Róisín Hahessy and Second Class raved about the art and craft workshop delivered to them online by with Aoife Munn. A wonderful feast of literary treats. Thanks Ms Parkinson.!
