paul ryan cup 2024
This much-loved event, in memory of our former Principal, Paul Ryan, took place over the last two weeks.
All children from 4th, 5th and 6th classes formed the teams for the GAA tournament, representing a range of counties, managed by the teachers!
This tournament is a wonderful, fun, inclusive event, with a good healthy element of competition,
especially in the staffroom!
Huge congratulations to all the teams who took part this year but in particular Kerry and Mayo who battled it out in one of the best finals we’ve ever seen!
With only a few points in the difference, Kerry won on the day!
Congratulations to Mr. O’Grady who led the team to victory.
Congratulations also to the 6 children who won awards for excellence throughout the tournament:
Lauren Costigan, Cian Clear, Saoirse Lally, Joshua McGuirk, Amelia Turley and Stephen Power.
Many thanks to Mr Hannan for coordinating the Paul Ryan Cup, and to all the teachers who managed the teams.

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.
