A huge warm SMGS welcome to our new incoming First Years. It was lovely to see all the new faces and watch you settle into their new school with the help of their Year Head Ms. Meade, Class Tutors, SNAs and Meitheal Leaders.

Students received their journals and lockers and familiarised themselves with the school buildings as well as getting to know their new classmates.

We look forward to welcoming you all back in the morning to meet your new teachers and get a taste for some the subjects on your timetables.
