An unbelievably spirited team display saw SMGS win the Cork County Senior Hurling final played today against Carrigtwohill in Mayfield.

It was fantastic to be able to honour our students' achievements again. The last Awards Night held was back in 2019 and there was plenty to congratulate our students for last Thursday Night in @Clayton Silversprings. The Class Awards recognised the motivation, enthusiasm, dedication, kindness and helpfulness of our students and the Academic achievements of the class of 2020 and 2021 were recognised also.

The U15s had a tough draw against Presentation College in their second round match, but a poor performance on the day was a big disappointment, conceding soft goals in the first half and not playing as a team. 

SMGS were represented by 2 teams in the Cork Higher Level ‘Team Maths’ competition. Megan Flynn, Alison Higgins, Jamie Falvey and Michelle O’Keeffe joined up to make one team, and Thomas Falvey, Emma Harte, Matthew McCarthy and Christopher Murphy were the competitors in the other.

Congratulations to our recent Silver Gaisce Awardees : Shane Hurley, Éadaoin O’Neill, Holly Carroll and Megan O’Farrell.

Our senior hurlers had an excellent hard fought win in the Munster Semi Final against near neighbours Carrignavar in Grenagh today.

TY students at SMGS take part in a Christmas Craft / Design Competition with Ms Holohan. Decorations for the tree are favourites, followed by quirky digital messages for students and staff to keep safe and have fun over Christmas and the New Year.

This year’s Open Night is unfortunately unable to go ahead yet again due to Covid restrictions.

Therefore, this year’s Open Night will be held virtually to give prospective parents and students an idea of what the school has to offer.

Fantastic night out in CIT on Friday night for our Athletics students in the Munster Track and Field.
