Walk on Wednesday - Update
Well done to all the staff and students of Coláiste Muire who participated in our last MYM day. Our next Walk on Wednesday event is happening this Wednesday 14th May 2014. We encourage all staff and students to get involved in making sustainable travel a regular part of daily school life. It starts here!
The event will be very similar to our last WOW day but with a few small changes as follows:
- The Southern route is now meeting at the cathedral car park instead of at Xtra-Vision.
- The meeting times for all routes are slightly later. The new times are listed below:
- Northern route will meet at 8.25am
- Southern route will meet at 8.35am
- Eastern route will meet at 8.30am
- Western route will meet at 8.25am
We hope to see you all bright and early!

Mix Your Mode - March 26th 2014 - Travel Initiative
Coláiste Muire staff and students are partaking in a whole island initiative on sustainable travel called Mix Your Mode on March 26th. The Green Schools Committee have surveyed how our staff and students travel to school every morning. We are trying to make an effort as a school to travel in a more environmentally friendly way.
We hope to get everyone walking, cycling, roller-blading, skipping or dancing to school! Any mode of transport that is friendly to our environment and does not emit carbon dioxide into our atmosphere is encouraged. All students are asked to support this initiative and to become involved by signing the pledge in the Curriculum links document below and by mixing their mode.
Please see the links below for further information.
