ST MARY’S WELCOMES 60 NEW 1ST YEAR STUDENTS
St Mary’s Secondary School were delighted to welcome 60 new students to the school on Monday the 27th of August. On the day the 1st year girls were met by their new Principal, Vice Principal and Year Head. They spent the morning getting to know each other and their new school with the help of their Buddies.
The Buddy System is very effective in St Marys. This Buddy System sees fourth year students act as Role Models and mentors for the incoming first year students. The Buddies are of huge help and benefit to the 1st years, they help them with their lockers, books and timetables, they take them from class to class for the first few weeks, they make sure that they are ok during break and lunch time, they walk them to the Bus Stop after school. They help them to settle in to their new school, they help them to get to know other students in their class etc. They are a massive support to the first years and they really help them to transition from Primary School happily.
The Buddies are doing a fantastic job this year as the first years seem to be very happy and settled in their new school already.
The Buddies this year are Leah Coughlan, Ella Dobbie, Martyna Byrdziak. Aoife Clancy, Ciara O’ Donovan, Caoimhe Donovan and Andzelika Wyka, their Mentor is Ms O’ Donoghue.
