As a new school year commences, we warmly welcome back all members of the Mercy community. We hope that the summer was an enjoyable break from studies and both students and staff are looking forward to another rewarding year ahead.

A special welcome to the First Year students as they begin their journey as Mercy girls. Although it may seem daunting at first, know that there are many support systems here to help you settle in. We encourage you to embrace every opportunity, try your best and the rest will fall into place.

To our fellow Sixth Year students, we are immensely proud of you all for getting this far. We are on the home stretch now! While there is a challenging year ahead, never forget to look out for one another and cherish all the good memories to come.

To the members of staff here in St Joseph’s, we greatly appreciate your dedication and consistent support. Your hard work certainly does not go unnoticed!

We wish you all the best in the coming year, especially the Third and Sixth Year students as they begin preparation for their state exams.

Ádh mór agus go n-eirí libh!

Aoife and Lara.
