Our Ethos

Scoil Mhuire, Our Lady’s Island is a Catholic, co-educational primary school which strives to provide a well-ordered, caring, happy and secure atmosphere where the intellectual, spiritual, physical, moral and cultural needs of the pupils are identified and addressed.

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.

Certificates are handed out in assembly by Ms. Rossiter Gargan each month and many are given to students for their kindness. ​

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.

Our Location and Facilities

Scoil Mhuire, situated in Broadway village, is the parish school of Our Lady’s Island/Tacumshane, Co. Wexford.

The school has a splendid view of Our Lady’s Island Lake with the Atlantic Ocean meeting St. George’s Channel in the background.

​Built in 1980, it is the most south-easterly school in Ireland. Our school crest shows the windmill in Tacumshane and the castle in Our Lady’s Island.

​
There is ample space for children to play and explore, with a large pitch, tarmac playground, vegetable plot, picnic tables, a hurling wall and a basketball court.

We encourage all students to be active at break times and to exercise fairness in games.

Each classroom is equipped with an interactive whiteboard and numerous other resources, all of which enhance the multi-sensory experience of our pupils.

We have a particularly large learning support room and a resource room with an ever-growing supply of resources.

Our school has been newly renovated and is now wheelchair accessible. We have also added more car-parking facilities to the front of our school and a new entrance was designed to enhance student safety in entering and leaving the school.
