ATTENTION SMGS PARENTS AND STUDENTS (2ND -6TH YEAR)
As you may already know, the Department of Education provide all books and stationery requirements for students in second level education. We are currently organising the vast quantities of book and stationery for the upcoming academic year. We plan to hold two distribution days for 2nd to 6th year students on Thursday the 14th and Friday the 15th of August from 9am to 3:30pm. 

Full details are outlined below:

1st year students- Parents will not need to collect books or stationery for 1st year students. They will be distributed on the student’s 1st day of school- the 22nd of August.

2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th year students:

Two distribution days

Thursday 14th of August from 9am to 3:30pm
Friday 15th of August from 9am to 3:30pm

Please note that the person collecting the books will need to know what level (higher or ordinary) your child is taking in Irish, English and Maths. 

It is essential that books are collected on these distribution days to ensure that there is no disruption to teaching and learning when the new term begins. 

In exceptional circumstances where a parent/guardian cannot make these two distribution days, please contact the distribution organiser Michelle Crotty by email at mcrotty@smgsblarney.ie. There will be limited times when we can arrange collection prior to these days outlined above. 

Please also ensure you have signed the book scheme agreement. Link to agreement in bio

Wishing our Junior Cycle and Leaving Cert students all the very best ahead of the start of their exams this morning. Remember to eat well, rest enough during the exam period, sleep is just as important as study for sitting a successful paper and above all....don’t panic! Keep your cool, you’ve got this!💪🏼 Good luck all!

Ba mhaith linn comhghairdeas a ghabháil le Colm Óg Ó Síocháin agus Evan Ó Rinn sa chéad bhliain as ucht a chuid iarrachta ar son na Gaeilge agus a bheith mar chuid den Ghaelfórsa, an coiste Gaeilge na scoile ☘️ Ba chabhair mhór iad an Ghaeilge a spreagadh timpeall na scoile le linn na bliana.

We would like to thank Colm Óg Ó Síocháin and Evan Ó Rinn in first year for their efforts on behalf of the Irish language and for being part of Gaelfórsa, the school’s Irish language committee. They were a great help in encouraging the use of Irish around the school throughout the year.☘️

Such a lovely evening of music at SMGS last night. A great turn out to listen to entertain with a selection of songs and stories. A truly enjoyable and intimate gig. A very special well done to the support act Kieran Coleman for playing for the crowd before Mick took the stage.
