Common Ground Exhibition 2024
From the cave paintings in Lascaux to the emojis we use today, symbols have been used for thousands of years to tell stories. Each child has a story as unique as they are that is shaped by their name and their family’s own story, language and culture. The exhibition, Common Ground, presented the children in second class' story through symbols imagined by them.
The exhibition was an immersive experience which encouraged those attending to scan the QR codes to gain access to a soundtrack which accompanied the children's work. In this audio you could hear the children's parents speaking in their mother tongue explaining the meaning of their child's name and why they choose that name for their child.
Diversity and inclusion are of the utmost importance to Baboró and Merlin Woods Primary School. Common Ground was a celebration of the many and varied languages and cultures that are such an essential part of the students. It also reminded us, no matter how wonderfully diverse we are, of how much we have in common.

Creative Clusters 2024
Merlin Woods was successul in our application for Creative Cluster starting in September 2024. Merlin Woods PS will be collaborate with; Merlin College, Scoil Chaitríona Junior and Cuan Na Gaillimhe Community National School. We are so excited to be part of this intiative.
The Creative Clusters initiative for schools in Ireland is designed to foster creativity and collaboration among students and teachers by integrating the arts into the education system. Managed by the Department of Education in partnership with the Arts Council, this program encourages schools to work together in clusters, promoting creative learning environments and innovative teaching practices. Schools in a cluster receive funding and support to develop and implement projects that integrate arts and creativity across the curriculum. The initiative aims to enhance students' critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills while also building stronger links between schools and their local communities and cultural organizations. Through this initiative, schools can share resources, expertise, and ideas, ultimately enriching the educational experience and nurturing the creative potential of every student.
Merlin Woods Primary School is proud to announce that Múinteoir Rachael has recently attended the renowned Food Dudes training.
This program, designed to promote healthy eating habits among young students, and aligns perfectly with our school's promotion of healthy eating.
