It's hard to believe the summer holidays are with us; how quickly the year has gone.
Credit to the girls, they all worked extremely hard throughout the year and participated in all sorts of activities and learning with great enthusiasm and drive. On behalf of all the staff of Our Lady of Mercy, we hope you have a safe and happy summer holiday and we look forward to welcoming you back again in September Go dté sibh slán
A great afternoon golfingWell done to the boys and girls from 6th Class in St Marys BNS and Our Lady of Mercy who joined together Tuesday 26th of June for a fun afternoon and final golf outing in Leopardstown. Their behaviour throughout was exemplary and the standard of play was superb.Thanks to all those parents who helped with lifts supervision and coaching over the last 8 weeks of training. We couldn't have done it without you.
Congratulations to the girls in 6th Class, under the direction of their class teacher, Ms Cumiskey and Susan for doing such a fantastic job with their Sale of Work and Dream Auction on Tuesday the 19th of June. Thanks to all their hard work in seeking out sponsorship and donations, they had a fabulous array of items and goodies and bargains for sale today. All proceeds from the sale will go towards their two chosen charities for this year, Crumlin Children's Hospital and Merchants Quay Ireland. Thanks in particular to all those parents who volunteered to help out with the sale today and to all of you for coming to support these two worthy causes. It was a great success.
Representatives from both Crumlin Hospital and Merchants Quay visited the class to thank them in person for all their hard work and charitable deeds and they graciously accepted a cheque each for €3418. A staggering sum of money which, as they said will go a long way to help improve the lives of so many people.. Well Done 6th Class. 
Congratulations
A huge congratulations to Melanie Norris and Felicia de Vreeze of 1st Class who, of their own initiative, organised a sale of work outside their home and raised €30 which they kindly donated to the 6th Class Charities, Crumlin Hospital and Merchants Quay.

Well Done to the four girls from 6th Class who were selected to represent the school at the 14th Annual Golf Outing held in the Castle Golf Club Rathfarnham on Monday 28th of May. They were Aobha Gunnell, Anna McElroy, Caitríona de Buitléir and Chloe Caraher. Despite the early tee-off time of 8a.m, the girls looked like true professionals heading off on the course. They played really well and had a fantastic experience from start to finish. Thanks to Karen Gunnell (mum of Aobha) and to Donal de Buitléir (dad of Caitríona) for all their time in sharing their golf expertise and advice to the team over the last number of weeks.
We really appreciate all their support.

Official Opening of our Newly Designed Garden and Green Flag Raising CeremonyWhat a fantastic celebration we had in school the day before we finished to mark the official opening of our newly designed garden and the raising of our 6th Green Flag for our work on Global Citizenship: Litter and Waste. The atmosphere was something else with the sun shining and the whole school looking so well. Tributes were paid in abundance to all those who helped drive the project from being a vision into a reality. Thanks in particular to Martha De Buitléir, Christina Penney and Aidan O Rourke for adding so much appeal and colour to this garden, a magical space for us all to enjoy for many years to come.
