Many thanks to local business man Fergus McGinn McGinn's Hop House for meeting our Oak 1 students who had their "Save the G" letter printed in The Galway Advertiser last week.

Fergus was their first guest speaker of the year and he talked about heritage, importance of the iconic Galway G logo designed by Jimmy Conneely, as well as offering insights into managing businesses.

Míle buíochas Fergus from Oak 1 teacher Philip Cribbin and all the class.

🎬We are incredibly proud to share a brand-new short animation created by our talented Beech 3 students.
Inspired by the Department of Education’s anti-bullying policy, Bí Cinéalta – Be Kind, this project shows that through support, kindness, and open communication, we can all make our school a better place—one positive action at a time!

Special thanks to our Art teacher, Mr. Paul Cluskey, for his dedication and hard work in helping our students turn their creative dreams into a reality.
We were also honoured to have "The Morgan Brothers" join us as special guests to officially launch the animation. You can watch their animation here ➡️
