Scoil Mhuire, Buncrana, Catholic secondary school in Buncrana, Ireland
Scoil Mhuire is a Catholic secondary school in Buncrana, County Donegal, with modern classrooms, science laboratories, and specialized teaching spaces. The school serves students across all ability levels from first year through to completion of their post-primary education.
The Sisters of Mercy founded Scoil Mhuire in 1933 as a post-primary school for girls, initially operating from Rockfort House. The school moved to a purpose-built building in 1973, which continues to serve as its home today.
The school implements the principles of Catherine McAuley through its educational programs, focusing on personal development and academic achievement for all students.
Visitors can tour the school grounds but should arrange visits in advance and respect regular school hours. The campus is most accessible during school holidays or outside teaching hours when there is less disruption to daily activities.
The original Rockfort House served as both school and residential facility for decades before demolition in the 1990s. Its removal allowed the school to expand on-site and develop the improved facilities that students use today.
