Galway Educate Together Secondary School

Best of luck to our Junior and Leaving Cert students who start their exams tomorrow!

With the sunny weather, our Spanish and French teachers planned a picnic where our First Year students could bring in dishes and celebrate a great year of learning!

Thanks to Esther, Laura M and Niamh P for organising!

Keeping our students engaged in the final week of school is very important, but also a lot of fun! Lots of creative ideas in class like presentation in English on their favourite topic, board games in Spanish and Escape Room games in CSPE!

Blue skies for the Purple House who won the House Competition this year! They got to enjoy mini golf and pizza to celebrate their win!

Who will win next year?!

Big thanks to Aoife for organising!

The Senior Debate team received their certificates from the Concern Debates programme today!

They made it through the League phase of the competition, where they placed number 24 in the whole of the Island. They also progressed to the next round of the competition before being knocked out in the Knockout phase, meaning they placed in the top 64 schools in the competition.

They debated on motions dealing with disinformation, fast fashion, global poverty and world hunger. It has been a pleasure and an honour to see them in action, they are truly inspiring!

Thanks to their teacher LeighAnn for working with them through each debate throughout the year. 👏
