Míle buíochas to everyone at Gaelscoil Mhúscraí for a fantastic morning of chess during Seachtain na Gaeilge! ♟️🇮🇪
It was brilliant to see so many students getting involved, thinking ahead, and enjoying the challenge of the game through Irish. The enthusiasm, focus, and sportsmanship were wonderful to see. Go raibh maith agaibh.
This week Ms. Browne’s 1st Class enjoyed a peered reading session with Ms. Fitzgerald’s 4th class in the lead up to World Book Day.
This week our Student Council proudly opened the halla and unveiled our stunning new mural 🎨✨
Our senior building students carefully voted on a quote that meant something to them. Something they felt connected to and wanted to see each day. Their choice was simple, honest and powerful:
Be Kind. Be Brave. Be You. 💛
It’s a message that reflects who they are and who they aspire to be, encouraging everyone who walks through our doors to show compassion, courage and confidence in themselves.
A very special thank you to the incredibly talented Theresa, our fantastic artist, who brought the mural to life so beautifully. We are so grateful for your creativity, dedication and colour you’ve brought to Scoil Chroí Íosa! 🌈

Our wonderful Junior Infants are busy little gardeners! 🌱 This week, they rolled up their sleeves and got stuck into weeding the garden to prepare for spring planting. The children worked together to carefully pull out weeds, tidy the soil, and make space for new seeds and flowers. They showed great teamwork and enthusiasm, and we can’t wait to see all the colourful blooms and healthy plants that will grow from their hard work in the weeks ahead! 🌼🌷
