Our school has just achieved the SFI Discover Science and Maths Award for 2018/2019. We submitted a Log of Evidence of children's engagement with Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM). We have been awarded the " Plaque of STEM".
Look at our Log of Evidence here: http://www.scoilmochua.com/stem.html Our Feedback from the awarding body: "Congratulations on your award! It's great to see the whole school getting involved in the STEM activities and investigations. It's clear the students of Scoil Mochua take great pride and joy in their work and that shines through in your digital log of evidence, Well done and keep up the good work!" |
Information from Tusla regarding Childcare
Please be advised that on the 18th February 2019, the Child Care Act 1991 (Early Years Services) (Registration of School Age Services) Regulations 2018 came into effect.
Services that provide after school childcare must now register with Tusla. School-age childcare services have not, to date, been subject to registration, so this is a significant step forward in ensuring quality school-age childcare. Childminders may be exempt from registration depending on the numbers of children they are minding.
Please read the letter from Tusla for further information

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.
