About us and Our School

We are a group 29 girls from Mount Anville Primary School. We are all great friends and we have been lucky to have a new girl join our class this year. Welcome Emily!We hope you settle in well and feel very welcome in our class.

We love finding out about new things and discovering the world for ourselves too. On this site you can see some of the work that we do in class. There are also links on the blog to sites suitable for us and other kids. Sometimes we're going to use the site to get feedback on projects.
Mount Anville Primary School is a large girls’ primary school with the heart of Christ as our living inspiration.It was founded in 1955.

In Mount Anville Primary School, we seek to educate the whole person as a responsible member of society: confident of personal worth, actively living out Christ’s call to know and share his love. The school community works together to make this aim a reality. The school fosters an atmosphere of freedom, openness and enquiry. We have a committed staff who implements the Sacred Heart Ethos in every aspect of school life. All children arriving at MAPS bring with them a unique blend and wealth of experience, family relationships and parental aspirations.

Our school, a place of growth, does everything to ensure these talents are recognized and developed. The school recognizes the inherent worth, potential and dignity of each pupil. Each child is valued, cared for and respected. We celebrate each child’s uniqueness and difference. Our learning is child- centred and experiential. There are over 440 girls in our school.

We have lots of teachers who teach and care for us in the school including SNA's, our secretary and caretaker, and let's not forget our principal, Ms. Mc Gowan who runs the school each day.

The 5 Goals of Sacred Heart Education
•Faith

•Character

 •Intellect
 •Community
•Social Awareness

The values expressed by these five goals were those which have been fundamental to Sacred Heart education since its beginnings in St. Madeleine Sophie’s day. We are linked by these goals to a Sacred Heart Network of schools: Sacred Heart Primary School Roscrea, Mount St. Catherine’s Primary School Armagh, St. Catherine’s College Armagh, St. Julian’s Junior & Senior Schools Malta, Mt. Anville Montessori-Junior and Senior Schools in Dublin and ourselves: Mount Anville Primary School.

Goal 1: A LIVING FAITH IN GOD We learn about God and how to pray

Goal 2: PERSONAL GROWTH IN AN ATMOSPHERE OF WISE FREEDOM We are all different and special. We learn to share and care.

Goal 3: A DEEP RESPECT FOR INTELLECTUAL VALUES We try our best to learn and become the best we can.

Goal 4: BUILDING OF COMMUNITY AS A CHRISTIAN VALUE We work hard to build community at home and at school; locally and globally.

Goal 5: A SOCIAL AWARENESS WHICH IMPELS TO ACTION We always try to be fair. If we see something wrong we try to put it right.

This year's goal will be working on is COMMUNITY!! keep an eye on this page to see what we will be working on and what you could help us with also.
