Head Girl Welcome Can I just start by reassuring all those first years towering over me that yes despite the whole height issue and the general look that you’d swear it was my first day in school, I can safely say that I am in leaving cert J I’ve had the pleasure over the last six years of being lead by some wonderful and inspiring head girls form the happy days to the head bear and I can only wish to be half as good and apologises to ye guys that got stuck with me. I would like to begin my role as head girl by extending the warmest of welcomes to the old and the new of Scoil Mhuire teachers, students and bathrooms alike J I would especially like to welcome all the new students that join the team that is Scoil Mhuire, a team of techno wizards that is. What with them taking over the internet, school website, facebook whats next?? So to keep up to date with the who’s who and what’s what of Scoil Mhuire stayed tuned to www.scoil-mhuire.ie. You can rest assured that you won’t be without the latest gossip on the Monday morning with constant updates on sporting and music events, bakesales, school tours, fundraisers and much much more! I must say not much goes unnoticed by our enthusiastic reporters and photographers, to whom we extend our greatest appreciation to and of course to Ms Cullen THEE Techno Wizard herself J Where we say our hellos we must also bid our goodbyes to those that have moved on, the leaving cert class of 10/11 and our dearest teachers that have given the greatest gift one can give, a lifetime of knowledge and passion to learn....from our dear friend Geibheann to our heated discussions on the X -fact-taw J This year like every other year will be filled with hard work...many the furrowed brow as we try and figure out what exactly dy dx is...singing and dancing to the sound of music...cheering on the sports teams...lost locker keys...cold and rainy treks to the monastery... projects......deadlines....outstanding achievements.....hope and despair...success and failures... laughter and tears. It will be hard at times but the benefits reaped at the end will be more than worth the journey. As your head girl I will try my very best to help you in any way that I can along this journey. Sometimes when you have to face something by yourself it looks like Mount Everest yet somehow, all of a sudden when you’ve got someone by your side you suddenly feel in the wise WISE words of Ms O Loughlin ‘I can and I will’. No matter how big or small a problem might seem it’s nothing that can’t be conquered...I’ve failed a test....I’ve shed many the tear...I’ve had MANY the embarrassing moment...I’ve fought with my friends...I’ve forgotten to do my homework. But I’ve always tried my best and that is all anyone can ask you to do. So never hesitate to come and talk to me even if it’s just to say hello or just simply stare at me in awe of my absolute greatness...I really don’t mind!! And to all the five foot nothing people out there....stand tall, head high, shoulders back and reach for the stars !! And as our one and only Kilshanny resident would say.....Always remember the GAP is the way forward and we’re here for a good time not a long time J Best wishes always, Your HG, Lisa J xx
