Congratulations to the class of 2025 on their graduation.

Celebrating the Life and Legacy of Múinteoir Nóirín

Today at Murroe National School, we gathered as a community to celebrate the life and legacy of our beloved Múinteoir Nóirín. Nóirín was a cherished member of our staff for many years, and her warmth, kindness, and dedication left a lasting impact on everyone she met—especially the children, who adored her.

In a special ceremony filled with love and remembrance, we welcomed Nóirín’s husband Tony, her children, and many members of the school community. Together, we shared stories, memories, and heartfelt tributes that reflected the deep affection and respect we all hold for her.

As part of this celebration, we were proud to officially name our outdoor classroom Seomra Nóirín in her honour—a space where learning, laughter, and nature come together, just as she would have loved.

Though she is no longer with us, Nóirín’s spirit continues to shine brightly in the halls and hearts of Murroe Ns. Today was a beautiful reminder of the joy she brought into our lives and the legacy she leaves behind.

Go raibh míle maith agat, a Nóirín. You will always be in our hearts.

The student council organised a Wacky Wednesday Crazy Hair day to raise funds for Crumlin Children’s Hospital.

Wishing all the boys and girls the best as they receive the Sacrament of First Holy Communion. This sacred milestone marks a beautiful step in their faith journey, filling their hearts with joy and gratitude.

The children enjoyed the fine weather, reading and discussing books outside.

“Reading is an exercise in empathy; an exercise in walking in someone else’s shoes for a while.” — Malorie Blackman

Well done to the student council and the support of the Parents’ association, who organised a sponsored walk to raise funds for the school goal posts.

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!
