This school year the pupils will proudly wear our new school crest.

The joined hands in the crest symbolise the value of friendship, promoting unity among our pupils. The book represents our commitment to learning and knowledge, encouraging a love for education. The cross honors our namesake St Brigid. The bridge represents the connection to our village of Mountnugent, reminding us of our roots and the community we serve. Lastly, the Latin phrase “Semper Doctrina” serves as a reminder that we are always learning and growing together.

Together, these elements embody the spirit of our school and the shared journey we embark on as a learning community.

Special mention to the  6th Class pupils of 2021, Jamie Lynch, Nisha Finnegan, Ellie O’Reilly and Shauna Gibson whose creations were combined to make our school crest. Thank you also to former parent and graphic designer Thor Siksai who created the digital image of our crest.

On Thursday 20th June we had our end of year mass to mark the graduation of our 6th Class. Fr O’ Connor presented each pupil with their graduation certificates. How lucky we are as a school community to have had such a brilliant 6th class this year, thank you 6th class and we wish you all the best as you move into secondary school. 

On Tuesday 18th June, Rosie from Water Safety Ireland visited our school to educate our pupils on water safety. Thank you to Rosie for providing such an informative session for all our pupils around water safety at home, on the farm, on lakes, rivers and seas. 

We were very fortunate to have a live Bee Hive visit our school on Tuesday 11th of June. Thank you kindly to Arthur and Bernie from the Bee Barn who provided such a wonderful learning experience for the children.

Well done to our boys’ and girls’ football teams who competed in the Cumann na mBunscol blitz competitions recently.  Although, results did not go our way, both teams gave a great account of themselves and enjoyed their football!

We are delighted to receive a SFI Gold Curious minds award for our engagement with Science and STEM for this school year. Here is the message we received from the curious minds team;

“Well done to all at Scoil Bhride for a great range of activities across the school. It is great to see how you are involved in community activities such as the Eco-Fare. It is also particularly good to see how you have used measurement and technology as part of activities such as baking and learning about other countries, showing that STEM skills are relevant to so many different things that we do in our lives.”

Well done to all the teachers and the children for engaging so well with all the activities. Congratulations!
