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.

The Marie Keating Foundation Schools Cancer Awareness Programme aims to help secondary school students learn how to reduce their risk of cancer and how to spot the signs and symptoms early. The programme makes cancer ‘less frightening by enlightening". Kathryn used age-appropriate, interactive and informative material. We are very grateful to all who helped to facilitate these important talks.

 

Glenamaddy Community School have produced a massive shock by winning The FAI Connacht Schools Senior B Cup final in Headford on penalties. Starting as underdogs against a very strong St Joseph’s Foxford who were going for their fourth Connacht title in a row, the game finished 2-2 after normal time. Conor Kennedy opened the scoring for Glenamaddy and following a Foxford equaliser, Dylan Joyce restored Glenamaddy’s lead before a late equaliser meant extra time. Foxford took the lead in extra time and looked like winning the game only for Dylan Joyce to score a dramatic equaliser in the final minutes to bring the game to penalties. Glenamaddy were faultless during the shootout with Owen Collins, Dylan Joyce, Eoin Morgan, Conor Kennedy, and Michael Giblin all finding the net while. Foxford put their third penalty wide. This is the first time in twenty years that the school has won this cup and now goes on to the National Cup Semi-Final against the Ulster Champions, either Coláiste Oiriall of Monaghan or Coláiste Ailigh, Letterkenny who meet in the Ulster Final on Thursday in Ballyshannon.
