Bike week 2022

We are inviting all children to make a special effort to bike or scoot to school this week to mark Bike Week 2022.
Bike Week is a celebration of active travel, sustainable transport and simply the joys of cycling a bike! The timing couldn't be better to celebrate Bike Week with our wonderful new, spacious bike rack area!
We counted 163 bikes and scooters on Friday the 13th of May .
When the Eco Committee counted again on National COW day (Wednesday May 18th) there were 197 bikes and scooters in the racks!
That's an almost 21% increase! Well done everyone!
our first ever wellbeing week
Scoil Mochua hosted its first Wellbeing Week during the first week of May.
It was a tremendous success!

Bhí seachtain na Gaeilge den scoth againn! Comórtais, ealaín, rince agus an pharáid mhór! Bhí an ghrian ag taitneamh agus bhí gliondar croí orainn cé comh méid tuismitheoirí, seantuistí agus cairde a bhí ann chun bualadh bos a thabhairt do na páistí.Go raibh míle maith agaibh.
Beannachtaí na Féile Pádraig oraibh go léir!

Principal's address
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.
