Lord Mayor Visit

Today, we were delighted to welcome Lord Mayor Damien Boylan to our school! ✨

He shared with the girls that when he was just 10 years old, his dream was to become Lord Mayor — and look at him now! His message to the girls was to always dream big and believe in what is possible. His manifesto for his term in office is to be ‘sound’! 😊

Our girls sang beautiful songs and asked some exceptional questions, making us incredibly proud. 💚

A huge thank you to Lord Mayor Damien Boylan for taking the time to visit us and for inspiring our girls to dream big, believe in themselves and never be afraid to follow their dreams. 🌟

SMJS Ski Trip 2-9 March 2024

29 pupils and three teachers on the trip of a lifetime……..Flight Cork to Munich, coach Munich in Germany to Ehrwald in Austria, 6 days, 4 hours skiing lessons per day, evenings full of fun, snow, mountains, sunshine, back to Cork fully fledged skiers!

Every second year, our school organises a week’s ski trip for pupils in 5th and 6th Class. The skiing is always great and the children learn so quickly it would take your breath away. The big adventure however, is travelling with friends and teachers rather than with your family. It is a big challenge for both sides to face, families and pupils, but the experience and sense of achievement is rewarding and in terms of personal development for the children, it is worth its weight in gold.

Cork Airport 2023

The girls sang their hearts out at the airport welcoming all the passengers to Cork. Ms. Odorici made it all look so simple!

What a lovely surprise when we came back after mid-term. A parent from Senior Infants had completely transformed our front and side gardens! Senior Infants and First class were inspecting it today.

More than 100 boxes were collected by the children and parents of SMJS for The Hope Foundation!
