Mount Sion CBS Secondary School

What a magical day our students enjoyed today as part of a special collaboration between the School Completion Project, Mount Sion and Kilfane House.

The day began with a relaxing and energising Tai Chi session led by Paul Kearney in the conference room, setting the perfect tone for the day ahead. We then moved next door for a creative workshop with Mia Carney, where students crafted beautiful wind chimes and stunning copper art pieces.

We were also privileged to hear from Lorna Byrne, who shared an inspiring account of her remarkable life journey and the many extraordinary people she has met along the way. A special mention to Ahmed, Calvin and Kayden, who spoke so eloquently and made a lasting impression on everyone present.

Thanks to the incredible organisation of Eleanor Browne from the School Completion Project, we enjoyed a fine dining experience(blaas, Taytos, flapjacks and more goodies ) in the beautiful surroundings of Kilfane House, before finishing the day with a guided walk through the gardens led by James.

From start to finish, it was a day filled with laughter, creativity, inspiration and joy. Thank you to everyone who helped make it such a memorable experience for all.

We invite you to join us this Friday in Ballybricken Church for a very special Mass celebrating Brother Peadar Gleeson and his outstanding service to the Mount Sion community.

Since 1959, Brother Peadar has been a constant and cherished presence in Mount Sion. Through his dedication, kindness, and commitment to others, he has embodied the values of Edmund Rice and carried forward the legacy of our founder in a truly remarkable way.

While we are saddened to say farewell, we are also deeply grateful for all that Peadar has given to our school and wider community. This celebration is an opportunity to honour his life's work and to wish him every happiness as he begins a new chapter in Limerick.

Everyone is warmly welcome to join us for this special occasion.

10.30 am in Ballybricken Church

We want to wish every single one of our students sitting their Junior Cycle and Leaving Certificate the very best of luck in their exams.

We are incredibly proud of all of you and the immense effort you’ve put in throughout the year. Do your best; we are all backing you every step of the way.

Massive thanks to all the wonderful families and staff. Your endless patience, guidance, and unwavering support have been the backbone of their journey to this point.

The State Exams Commission has asked all JC and LC students to familiarise themselves with the procedures for the exams outlined in the video below. This will minimize stress on the day if students are familiar with what is expected.
