Galway Educate Together Secondary School The Galway Educate Together Second Level School Startup Group came together in early 2012.

It is now made up of parents from four of Galway’s five existing Educate Together primary schools in Claregalway, Kilcolgan, Knocknacarra, Newcastle and Tuam. New members are always welcome. Its purpose is to promote and gather support for the establishment of Galway’s first Educate Together second level school, prior to making an application to the Department of Education and Skills for patronage when they next decide to open a new school in Galway.

Senior Volleyball Girls delivered a brilliant showing in their second round of the championship this morning. The team travelled to Roscommon to take on the hosts, with both games going all the way to a third set. We were edged out by Roscommon C.O.M., but bounced back with a great win over Beaufort College.

Huge well done to all players and supporters — fantastic effort throughout! 🏐

Thanks to Laura and James for their coaching 👏

Daltaí na hIdirbhliana ag baint taitneamh as an rang Gaeilge inné.

Rinne muid taighde ar stair na Samhna agus mhaisigh siad a gcuid bréag-aghaidheanna féin mar a rinne daoine fadó, fadó! 🎭✨

Sár-obair déanta ag gach duine!

Excellent work done by everyone!

Here's a quick update from our staff member LeighAnn, who has been in Seville with Global Education Time!

Such an amazing two days here in Seville for the Global Education Time Seminar! GETSS has been part of this EU project since 2024. As lead teacher for this project, I was invited to speak at the seminar with the GET Ireland team. This is a fantastic opportunity to share best practice and ideas centred around the theme of youth action.

The title of their presentation was ‘From school to neighbourhood:
community mapping with young people’ and I shared the youth actions we have been involved in since starting the GET project and how they connect us to our local community. Namely, the Youth Action PBL that took place earlier this year, and our past pupil, Sonia Abbah, being invited to speak on local community radio station _GoCom Radio_ during the summer. Teachers and youth workers from all over Europe have been so enthusiastic to hear more about GCE in the Irish context and very impressed with what our students have achieved. 💚 🌍 🗺️
