Chinese New Year in Scoil Mochua We celebrated Chinese New Year with the help of Khloe's mum, Jean, who kindly visited some of the children and gave lessons in Chinese art. She also shared some delicious Chinese food. Thank you Jean! |

please take the time to read the following
The most important measure is to stay home if you are unwell. Many children might have a runny nose or a slight cough in winter season. However, if a child is feeling unwell they should be at home.
For example, they may have fever,cough or a sore throat
- They should stay at home until those symptoms have finished. Children unwell with symptoms of one infection are more likely to get ‘co-infected’ with another infection which might make them more unwell, if they are exposed.
- Continue to encourage good hygiene practice: keep hands clean and cover coughs and sneezes.
- It is important that all adults and children recommended the flu vaccine receive the vaccine. Check if you are recommended the flu vaccine at hse.ie/flu. It is not too late to get your free flu vaccine.
- If you are concerned your child may be unwell, please check https://www2.hse.ie/conditions/coldscoughs-children/ There is information on coughs, colds, fever, rashes and symptoms of concern. Advice on when to contact your GP or go to a hospital emergency department is available at https://www2.hse.ie/babies-children/parenting-advice/caring-for-a-child/baby-child-seriouslyunwell/

The U13 hurlers have had a tough season of wins and losses, but the positive energy and heads up approach that they have adapted is highly admirable. Each player has been very dedicated to all training sessions and matches. Not only this, but there has been plenty of fun and laughs throughout the season so far! Well done lads!
A big word of thanks to all the teachers who volunteered their time to coach the teams and take them to matches.

Welcome to our school website. We are very proud of it and we hope you enjoy your virtual tour of the school. Our parents are our partners in education and their ongoing support helps to make Scoil Mochua the thriving, busy, happy school that it is. First and foremost, the website was designed as a window for our parents into our school and into classroom life. We want to share classroom stories and school life with our partners in education. We feel that it is important to share these precious moments from the children’s school life - we know they generate smiles and warm the heart! School life for our children is so varied, and the children are exposed to so many exciting learning opportunities. We love to capture these on camera and post them on the website so that families can chat about them at home.

Of course, the website also attracts visits from grandparents, aunts, uncles and friends. We are delighted and proud to welcome all of you. Above all else in our school, we value the children’s happiness and their enjoyment of learning. Their energy, inquisitiveness and level of engagement in learning never ceases to amaze us. I hope some of this jumps off the pages as you browse through the photographs of class activities and school events.
For those of you who are history buffs, or are simply interested in learning more about Celbridge, you will enjoy reading about the history of Celbridge on the website. Our lovely village is steeped in history – you will be amazed!
And, of course, the website is an excellent communication platform. Read some of our policies, the school calendar, information on our super Parents’ Association, useful educational links to enhance your child’s learning, details on school sporting events – it’s all there. You can also follow us on Twitter @scoilmochua for updates on the wide variety of learning that happens in Scoil Mochua.
Happy Browsing!
Kind Regards,
Catherine Carragher, Principal.
