Nestled in the leafy surroundings of Semple Stadium, Coláiste Mhuire Co-Ed. stands as the only co-educational secondary school in the Thurles region, a proud tradition since 1928.

We believe in nurturing individual potential through a distinctive and innovative approach to education. Our forward-thinking curriculum, combined with a comprehensive wellbeing programme and dedicated pastoral care, ensures every student thrives. We embrace our core values of care, equality, respect, and community to foster a supportive and enriching environment.

Academic excellence is a cornerstone of our ethos. We achieve this through:

  • Personalised academic tracking
  • Targeted literacy and numeracy programmes
  • Dedicated study support
  • Recognising and rewarding student achievements

As a Delivering Equality of Opportunity in Schools participant, we are committed to providing every student with the tools and opportunities to succeed. Our seamless transition programme ensures a smooth and welcoming entry for all, especially those from smaller primary schools.

Innovation is at the heart of our approach. We were among the first schools in Ireland to offer the Junior Cycle Student Awards Short Course in Programming and Coding, reflecting our commitment to equipping students with the digital skills of the future. We are proud to have achieved the Digital Schools Award, a testament to the dedication of our faculty and the cutting-edge learning experiences we provide.

At Coláiste Mhuire Co-Ed., we cultivate a safe, supportive, and engaging learning environment where students are encouraged to strive for excellence in all areas. Our motto, ‘Rath as Saothar – Success through Effort’ inspires our graduates to embrace challenges and achieve their dreams.
