The Leaving Certs celebrated Mole Day on October 23rd 2024.

The prestigious 'Bard of Connacht' competition is organised by Kilbegnet Historical Society in conjunction with the Creggs Harvest Festival and is sponsored by Ward and Burke.  On Friday 25th October the prizegiving took place in the beautiful Heritage Centre in Creggs. Two Transition Year Students from GCS were shortlisted as prizewinners- Jessica Gannon with her poem 'Limits are Illusions' and Julian Turner with his poem 'Ghosts'. Julian took eighth place while Jessica came in second place and won a cash prize for herself and the Transition Year class.  It is an excellent achievement and a brilliant start to the year for these TY students. We are thankful to Larry Kilcommins and Seamus Ward for all their hard work in organising the competition and look forward to being part of it for many years to come.
