Mayfield Community School

Yesterday we celebrated the graduation of the Class of 2026 🎓✨

Over the past six years, this wonderful group of students have achieved so much — growing in confidence, friendship, resilience and success. We are so proud of all they have accomplished during their time in our school.

As they begin their Leaving Cert exams next week, we wish each and every one of them the very best of luck and every success in the future 💙

Celebrating our TY Class of 2026 🎓✨
From trips and workshops to new challenges and unforgettable memories, this year was packed with experiences that helped our students grow in confidence, independence, and maturity 🌍📚🎭🏅

A huge congratulations to all of our TY students on everything they achieved this year 👏💫

Our annual Sports Day last week was filled with energy, teamwork, determination, and plenty of school spirit. A huge well done to all students who took part and gave it their all! A special thank you to the wonderful PE department who organised yet another successful MCS Sports Day! ⚽️🏅👏🏼

Some words of wisdom from our 6th Year students💭 We have been so lucky to watch you flourish and grow during your time here in MCS, and we can’t wait to see what the future holds for all of you🤩

Today our whole school gathered together to celebrate Mr Golden and Mrs Daly as their upcoming retirements approach. The students formed a guard of honour, leading us into our whole school assembly, where we heard heartfelt words of appreciation from Year 5 student Theia Harris Murphy and Year 6 student Sean Ríng. They spoke so fondly about both Mr Golden and Mrs Daly, sharing treasured memories and expressing sincere thanks for everything they have contributed to our school community over the years.

Mr Golden and Mrs Daly were also presented with beautifully decorated boxes by Year 3 students Jane Donovan and Saoirse Wool, filled with handwritten thank you notes from students across all year groups in the school.

It is difficult to imagine MCS without Mr Golden and Mrs Daly, but their impact will remain woven into the fabric of the school long after they leave. The kindness, dedication, and guidance they have shown will continue to influence students and staff for years to come, and their legacy will live on in the values and memories they helped shape. They leave behind not just a school, but a stronger community because of their time here 💫🌟

Some of our Year 6 students had a great visit this morning to the Mayfield and Blackpool Training Centres. Thanks to Mairead and the staff for welcoming us and giving us a great overview of what’s on offer 👏🏼

🏅 Gradam 2026 🏅
Our annual Gradam Night took place last night, celebrating the outstanding achievements and contributions of our students both inside and outside the classroom. ✨

A huge thank you to our talented students and Music Department for the wonderful musical performances throughout the evening. 🎶

This year’s event was also a special one as it marked the final Gradam Night for our Principal Mr Golden, Deputy Principal Ms Daly and Chairperson of the Board of Management Mary Shields. Their dedication and commitment have left a lasting legacy within our school community.
