September in CMMG

A very busy start to the year saw our students take part in a host of different extra curricular events over the month of September.

During the first week our Leaving Certificate class went on a day retreat to Mameen and Gurteen Bay. The good company and great weather greatly helped them to ease into what

will be a tough year of hard work, and was received happily by all. More Photos.

On September 17th Students participated in the annual See Change Green Ribbon Campaign, distributing ribbons to raise awareness about mental health issues and combat stigma associated with them.

Our TYs had their first outing of the year with a trip out to Inis Mór. Again, the weather was glorious and great fun had by all as they explored the island. More Photos

Aided by the Home Economics Department our Well being team introduced our students to some healthy eating habits, and lots of tasty snacks during Healthy Eating Week. Photographs

Our TY class 4B attended the Galway Climate Inspirations Festival in An Taibhdhearc.
