- V.I.P Visitors to Scoil Mhichíl
It was a day to remember for staff and students in Scoil Mhichíl on Monday 29th of May. We were offered a very unique experience thanks to the Search and Rescue Services. At 9.30 a.m we could hear the unmistakable sound of an approaching helicopter. As the children looked east a tiny dot in the distance became the unmistakable sight of one of Ireland's search and rescue helicopters. It circled the school a few times, with one of the winch men clearly visible in the open doorway, before landing in an adjoining field. The children were given the privilege of a walk through the helicopter and talks from the crew on their work as well as the various pieces of equipment that they carried on the helicopter. it is an experience afforded to very few and was much appreciated by the children and the staff. A day that will live long in the memory of all in Scoil Mhichíl.

Scoil Mhichíl has been formed since September 2013 following the amalgamation of Clonigulane N.S and Cahermurphy N.S. We are a four teacher rural school , three classroom teachers and one learning support teacher, catering for children from junior infants to sixth class. We are situated two miles from the village of Kilmihil.
In common with all schools, the teachers cater to the individual needs of their pupils and work with very supportive parents who value the individual attention,the emphasis on being 'the best you can be', and the unique atmosphere created by the school community, which ensures that all who attend or visit the school are influenced positively by the experience. Our school motto is 'Fás agus Foghlaim' - growing and learning together. Our smaller class size allows us to cater for the individual needs of the child giving the opportunity for personal attention for each child. Our school has the advantage of having fifteen hours Learning Support.
1916 Scoil Mhichíl Centenary Ceremony
A morning bathed in Spring sunshine with the birds singing welcomed everyone to the Raising the Flag Ceremony in Scoil Mhichíl.
A sense of being part of a bigger event added significance to the morning's events. The reading of the original proclamation reminded all of the history of the event we were commemortating . The raising of the flag by the children as 'Mise Eire' was played was an emotional high point for many of those present.
The reading of the proclamation for our time acknowledged the contribution of those who created our state and institutions, passed on our traditions and shaped our society. It spoke eloquently of the hopes of a new generation for the future of our country. it was a morning that will be long remembered by those who attended.
