Each and every staff member strives to promote a happy and caring environment for all our pupils.
Positive behaviour is reinforced and rewarded and we try to provide ample opportunities where students are acknowledged for their teamwork and kindness to others. |
|
|
Alongside individual class behaviour programs, each class teacher utilises the 'A.R.K.' (Acts of Random Kindness) strategy to encourage and reward good behaviour towards others.

Students are encouraged to communicate their worries with teacher directly.
Second through sixth classes are equipped with a 'Worry Box', in which students can write down their problem, if anxious about initiating a conversation with teacher. Worries are promptly followed up on by the class teacher. |

Here, in Scoil Mhuire, we do not condone any behaviour which is deemed unhelpful or hurtful by any student.
We have recently revised our Anti-Bullying Policy and have devised a 'Positive Behaviour Programme' which will address bullying behaviours amongst our students. Please click here to download a copy.
