Our 5th Year show will take place this evening, following its cancellation last night due to adverse weather.

If you’re attending tonight, please be aware that a match is also taking place in Pearse Stadium, starting at 5:15 PM and expected to finish around 7:00 PM. As a result, traffic in the area will be much heavier than usual.

To ensure you arrive on time, we recommend leaving plenty of extra travel time. The show begins promptly at 7:30 PM.

Additionally, there will be a special Sunday night performance as a replacement for Friday's cancelled show.

We look forward to seeing you and thank you for your understanding!

TY and 5th Year students have received a letter today regarding the Planet Youth survey that will be conducted with students in all Galway, Mayo and Roscommon  schools. The information collected will be used to inform efforts to improve the health and wellbeing of young people in our communities.

 

Students will be invited to complete an anonymous online survey that includes questions about their lifestyles, behaviours and health. The survey will take about 50 minutes and will be completed in a classroom setting.

 

The Planet Youth Survey is an important study that the school participates in every two years. If though, for any reason, you do not wish your child to participate in the survey, please complete the form included with the letter and return it to the office before Friday.
