Additionally, we have exciting events lined up including a visit from the Planetarium, Sacraments, sporting activities and competitions, tours, and educational visits from Heritage Ireland. Music lessons with Paul from Music Generation will continue, and coaching in rugby, Gaelic, and camogie will also be ongoing at the school.

We will communicate dates and times for other events, such as Sports Days and GAA events when we know more.

A little bit about us...

Welcome to the website of Scoil Naomh Mhuire, Boher.  We hope that this site will be of great benefit to our  parents, pupils, guardians and friends. As time goes by  we plan to increase and enlarge this site.

It is our aim that your child will be very happy in our   school and will achieve his/her full potential as a person   and member of their community.
This website will give a glimpse of our busy and varied   life here at Scoil Naomh Mhuire, Boher. We would like   you to browse our website to get a taste of the Cooley   Peninsula. These pages detail our work and life here.

 Scoil Naomh Mhuire, Boher, Muchgrange N.S. and Boher   N.S. are one and the same. We are a rural  co-  educational school situated in the Cooley Peninsula Co.  Louth. The beautiful Cooley Mountains and the Mourne  Mountains provide a glorious setting for the children and staff. A perfect haven for learning.                                                          

 

Ethos of Scoil Naomh Mhuire, Boher

"The curriculum of Scoil Naomh Mhuire recognizes the unique nature of each child, as it is expressed in each child's personality, intelligence and potential for development. It is designed to maximise each child's potential and to nurture the child in all dimensions of his/her life - spiritual, moral, emotional, imaginative, aesthetic, religious, social and physical."

The three general aims of primary education are:

To enable the child to live a full life as a child and to realise his or her potential as a unique individual
To enable the child to develop as a social being through living and co-operating with others and so contibute to the good of society
To prepare the child for further education and lifelong learning

 

 

Our school aims to create a climate of trust and love with staff supportive of each other and each child valued as an individual. We welcome the co-operation and involvement of the school community and parish. There is a strong sense of community and a high level of commitment between staff, pupils, parents and visitors.
