Mercy Primary School Galway, aims to be a school which offers every individual the opportunity to be a unique and valued person in a co-operative environment. We aim to create a community in which school, home, community and parish work together for the good of all. We aim to offer each child a broad, balanced and relevant curriculum to meet his or her spiritual, moral, intellectual, social and ph
ysical needs and to prepare him or her for the responsibilities of adult life. We aim to develop a spirit of care, respect, generosity, forgiveness and equal opportunity, with a patient and positive attitude. Environmental awareness is part of life in Mercy Primary. All the children, supported by the ‘Green School Committee,’ work hard at minding the local environment. Each day, the Green Flag is raised to acknowledge the School’s commitment to the environment. We are also a ‘Discover Primary Science & Maths’ school. We take part in this initiative annually where we hold a Science & Maths Investigation Day in the school. When formal school hours end, a variety of after-school activities begin. These may include sports clubs, GAA, Arts & Crafts, Knitting and much more. Classes vary from year to year and are provided by teachers or specially selected tutors. Being part of the school involves being part of the city, visiting the waterways, the library, the museum, local bookshops etc. It also involves being part of the school choir and the school band.
