A great display of singing, sean-nós dancing, musical recital and poetry were part of this years programme of events. It was remarkable to witness the array of talents being performed through our native tongue. 
 Maith sibh  chuile dhuine a bhí páirteach ann.

Pictured are some of our senior ladies team in their new jerseys kindly sponsored by Lidl. We would like to thank parents and guardians, staff and the wider school community who supported Glenamaddy CS and made this possible. A huge thank you to Lidl for supporting ladies football in recent years. Their support and recognition of ladies football is admirable. The future is bright! 

Our fantastic TY students are organising a Clothes Swap Shop as part of their Young SVP environmental awareness programme., this will take place on Tuesday 12th March during lunch break.

Thank you.

On Thursday last, a group of students in second year took part in the O'Connor-Power debating competition in St.Jarlath's College, Tuam. Our students were arguing for the motion that 'The anti-vaxx movement poses a significant threat to general health'. Our speakers on the day were Ava Madden-Hussey and Beth O'Mahony, both of whom delivered excellent coherent arguments. We were delighted to be part of the winning side on the day. Participants: Leah Mills, Rachael Corbally, Maria Murphy, Ava Madden-Hussey, Beth O'Mahony, Mr. Heverin, Dylan Severs.

On Thursday the 18th of January, five GCS students were among a group of students who were honoured by Medtronic for their achievements in either Engineering or Technology subjects in their Junior Cycle. All those awarded had achieved a Distinction in either subject. They were invited to attend an awards evening in Medtronic Parkmore to acknowledge their result. This is an amazing achievement and deserves recognition since only 3.8% of students achieved this grade in Engineering or Applied Technology in 2023. 
The following GCS students were presented with awards on the night; Enda Keane, Emily Trayers, Dylan Joyce, Ross Hegarty and Calvin Daly. Click on the image above for more pictures.

We are very grateful to all who helped to facilitate these important talks.
