About
Scoil Na Mbraithre is a co‑educational secondary school in Doon that combines a strong academic programme with a vibrant extra‑curricular ethos. Recent European Union funding under the NextGeneration EU initiative enabled the school to close the digital divide by installing interactive whiteboards in every classroom and providing Chromebooks for learners, ensuring that technology enhances everyday teaching and learning. The school’s facilities therefore support a modern, blended learning environment where students can develop digital literacy alongside traditional subjects. The curriculum is complemented by a wide range of practical activities that promote physical health, teamwork and scientific inquiry. Pupils take part in weekly cycling and road‑safety lessons, fundamental movement sessions, and a variety of sports leagues including hurling, draughts, volleyball and the Sarsfield Cup. Annual science weeks offer hands‑on experiments in forensic science, electricity, buoyancy and sound, encouraging curiosity and problem‑solving skills. Well‑being initiatives, the Active School Flag programme and a focus on inclusive education reflect the school’s commitment to nurturing confident, resilient young people.
