Just a Norma day in Virgin Mary Girls' National School
|
Minister for Education Norma Foley T.D. visited the Virgin Mary Girls' School to open our new ASD class 'The Rainbow Room'.
The fifth and sixth class girls welcomed Minister Foley with a rendition of Rose of Tralee. The Minister then officially opened The Rainbow Room and met the new pupils and parents of the class. The minister continued with a visit to fourth class and a meeting with the student council to discuss the school and the council's ideas. The Minister also met with Ms. Cuthbert and members of staff. She complimented the girls on their welcome of her and she really enjoyed her visit. The minister was also presented with a drawing by a fourth class pupil and sun flowers from our school garden were presented by senior infants.

Virgin Mary Girls' National SchoolWelcome to Virgin Mary Girls' National School, a warm and friendly school where pupils feel happy, secure, challenged and valued, and where the exciting journey to becoming a life-long learner begins.
We aim to make a difference by working in partnership with families, and the wider community to cultivate a love of life and learning in all our children. We strive to make learning fun and a natural part of life for our children. We want children to become confident and independent learners with inquiring minds, and develop as individuals to their full potential; therefore, we expect them to give their best in all that they do. We believe that children should be encouraged to develop positive, caring attitudes towards themselves, each other and the wider community of which they are part. We work together to create a school where positive behaviour is encouraged, and all are treated with respect, understanding and sensitivity. Staff, children, parents are all proud to be part of our school. We are committed to improving standards through promoting high expectations, and seek to build on what we do well in our quest for continuous improvement. Our website offers only an introduction to the experience we offer girls at Virgin Mary Girls' National School. Therefore, we would like to extend a warm invitation to both you and your daughter to visit our school and see the children at work and play for yourselves. We look forward to welcoming you to Virgin Mary Girls' National School.
