Principal's Message-March April, 2026
(March 23rd, 2026)
Dear Parents/Guardians and Staff
Well done to Mr Lankford and the school hurling team on qualifying for the Sciath Na Scol Semi Finals last week. It is wonderful to see our teams being so competitive and sporting in every game they play and we wish them the very best of luck in the semi final.
Reminder that Confirmation is this Wednesday. School closes at 12.30 that day.
We're looking forward to our boys' performance at the Cór Fhéile Show in the City Hall on Thursday night. It is a wonderful occasion every year and it has been very gratifying to watch the boys confidence grow under the watchful eye of Ms O Sullivan as they practiced hard every day over the past several weeks.
Preparation for the Cór Fhéile and the Confirmation is a significant undertaking for the teachers and SNAs who volunteer their time to get the children ready for these occasions. I want to thank each and every one of them for their outstanding contributions this year.
Thanks to the persuasive words of the Student Council, the boys now have extra yard footballs and two new goals for break time. We also hope to have two new basketball stands for the halla before the end of term 3. The boys who have been elected to the Student Council for 2025/26 have done an excellent job in every meeting so far. The next Student Council meeting will take place on Tuesday, April 14th at 1.30pm.
A huge thank you also to Ms Barry, caretaker John and the Green Schools Committee for all the work they put in to preparing for the Green Schools Inspection recently. The Inspector was very impressed with the boys' knowledge of Biodiversity and she has put our school forward for consideration for our fourth Green Flag. I'm sure Ms McGrath would be very proud, as she previously led the boys to our third Green Flag. Ms McGrath would also be very proud of the boys in her class, who have honoured her memory so well in difficult circumstances over the past few months.
Thank you, the parents and families of the boys, for your support to the staff and the students over the past few months. It is so crucial for parents and staff to pull in the same direction for the benefit of the boys.
It takes 100% effort from everyone every day in Morning Star to keep the ship sailing. Every staff member-including several new staff members-have performed superbly every day on little tasks, big projects and everything in between. Thank you all for all you do.
Reminder that this Friday will be a half day-12 Noon closure for Easter Holidays. School will be closed for two weeks and will reopen on Monday 13th of April.
Thank you all and have a great Easter.
Le Gach Deá Ghuí
Mr. Deasy
