We would like to create an environment where children will acquire and develop the necessary knowledge and skill to become independent, confident learners – where they will develop their self-esteem to enable them to express and achieve their full potential. We will endeavour to broaden each child’s experience to help them become spiritual, well-balanced and tolerant individuals with a respect for themselves and others.
Senior Hurling Team had a great first day out in the sunshine against Sruleen. Unfortunately, we were on the wrong side of the result today, but we have lots to work with going forward. Well done boys ! A special mention to Adam McGarry who scored a wonder point doubling on a ball like Jimmy Barry Murphy only to see it fizz over the bar.
There are too many people to thank for helping out with our latest fundraiser. We are delighted with all that was raised . It was a great night of fun. We look forward to working with our junior school and the parish in the future . Well done one and all.
Today, the boys and girls in Ms. Dee’s, Mr. Phillips, Ms. Brennan’s and Mr. McCormack’s classes went on a trip to Marlay Park playground. The trip was a reward for the best attendance from each year group. They had a great time in the sunshine! Thank you to Roddy and to Alan from Dublin Bus for bringing us.
The girls played their second game in two days today up in Templeogue. They were unfortunate to miss out, after having a tiring two days, but we had a great goal from Alicia who ran the length of the pitch with the ball, outrunning the entire opposition, to score! Maith thú!
The girls' soccer team had their first outing of the year. They secured a fantastic 2v1 win versus St Bernadettes Quarryvale in their local league match. The squad can be so proud of themselves for the effort they made. A special mention to Millie Dunne for scoring the two goals and Leah Johnston who was captain today.

Our Junior Safety Forum members were recently in County Hall, Tallaght to help launch the ‘Escape the Vape’ campaign. The poster, which was designed collaboratively by children in the South Dublin County Council catchment, will be visible on billboards very soon! Well done to the children from Divine Mercy SNS who represented the school with pride.
Parents/Guardians,
It was great for the children to get out onto the grass today to try out the new goalposts that were very kindly provided by Bernard in Active South Dublin. Many thanks to the six children who are members of the SDCC Junior Safety Forum and thought that the goalposts would be a benefit to children in our school, and also thanks to Roddy for putting the goalposts together and cutting the grass so the children had a nice surface to play on.
The boys and girls from Room 11 and Room 12 had a great day on Friday. There were some great outfits (and dance moves!) on display. We hope everybody is enjoying the long weekend after a busy week in school and look forward to seeing you tomorrow. Beannachtaí na Féile Pádraig!
Two of our parents/guardians were very lucky to be invited to Maynooth University and find out about the Maynooth University Access Programme on Tuesday. It was a great day on campus and we all learned about University courses, application and selection processes and supports. Many thanks to Joey, HSCL in Talbot SNS for organising the trip and to Emer, Gemma and Ruth in Maynooth University for making the day so informative and memorable.
We are delighted to announce our upcoming fundraiser! We would love to see as many of our families come and celebrate with us. The Garth Brooks experience will be held in the Spa Hotel and all proceeds will go towards both Schools and the Divine Mercy Parish. Tickets on sale from tomorrow in school.
A group of parents and children had great fun earlier this week with Sinead from South Dublin County Partnership. Sinead showed the parents how to cook easy, nutritious meals using an air fryer. Everyone enjoyed sampling the wedges, chicken dippers and burgers that Sinead made for the group! Many thanks to Trish in Balgaddy Child and Family Centre for facilitating the class.
