Scoil
Mhuire is a co-educational Post Primary School owned by the
State and controlled by a Board of Management made up of 10
members.( 2 Parents, 2 Teachers, and 6 representatives from
the Trustees who are Kildare V.E.C. and the Presentation Sisters)
The Presentation Sisters were the original founders of the
Secondary School. We changed to Community School Status in
1983 when we moved into our present building. We have completed
an extension and Sports Hall to our school to make it a modern
Educational premises.
At present we have 712 students (roughly 50:50 boys and girls
, age 12 to 18) and a teaching staff of 53.
The school operates the Transition Year, the Leaving Cert
Applied and the Leaving Cert Vocational Programme. There is
a strong emphasis on the use of I.C.T. in these courses.
Students also pursue programmes in physical education and
religious studies. Students are encouraged to involve themselves
in a wide range of extracurricular activities both indoor
and outdoor. We have an excellent record of achievement in
these areas.
Adult Education is promoted very strongly and Computer Studies
and AutoCad is usually over subscribed, in fact we frequently
have to run extra classes.
Hopefully
this brief profile of our school will be of help to you.
