Excitement filled the corridors of Scoil Mhuire as pupils recently cast their votes in the 2024 Student Council elections. The elections were an important part of fostering student leadership, giving pupils a voice, and allowing them to shape their school environment. Each candidate gave a speech outlining their goals, from advocating for more eco-friendly initiatives to planning fun events and ensuring every student’s voice is heard.
The newly elected council members are ready to bring fresh ideas and represent their peers. Teachers and staff praised the pupils for their enthusiasm and thoughtful campaigns, emphasising how experiences like these help develop skills in teamwork, communication, and responsibility.
We thank most sincerely local political representative, Cllr. Michael Mc Clafferty, who visited our school last Friday to oversee our Student Council elections. He spoke to our pupils about the important work of a County Councillor and was very impressed with all the ideas our pupils had. We thank him for being most generous with his time and for his ongoing support of our school.Thank you to Ms. Mc Mullan who co-ordinates the Student Council activities. Thank you to our outgoing Student Council for all their work promoting their ideas to make our school a better place over the past year.
Congratulations to the new council – here’s to a fantastic year of positive changes at Scoil Mhuire!
