a world of welcome
We are delighted to see all of the children back with us after a lovely, carefree summer. It is great to see them all settling into school life, and getting to know their new teachers. A special welcome to our four classes of Junior Infants, Oak, Ash, Willow and Hazel. They are a wonderful group, and have taken to school life so well. We look forward to a busy, fun year ahead full of learning opportunities for all our students, and teachers. We also look forward to working with you, our parents, to ensure we deliver the best possible education for your children. If the happy faces that we greet every morning at the corner are anything to go by, I think we will have a very good year this year!
farewell
Ms. Gráinne Ryan and Ms. Úna Swinburne have both moved on from Scoil Mochua. Both teachers were long- standing and valued members of staff. We will miss them, but we wish them all the best as they continue their careers further afield. We thank them for their commitment, professionalism and most of all for the care and encouragement they showed their students over the years.

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.
