Wishing our Junior Cycle and Leaving Cert students all the very best ahead of the start of their exams tomorrow 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!

Heartfelt congratulations to Past Pupil Sophie Barrett from the Class of 2025 on being awarded the highest mark for Leaving Cert DCG in Ireland last summer. She is pictured here with her teacher Mr. Seán O' Callaghan who has now guided and mentored multiple students on receiving this coveted award.

Sophie worked diligently and perfected her work to the highest standards. She is currently studying Genetics in UCC and is no doubt applying the same tireless work ethic to her course. Well done Sophie. 🌟🥳🌟

Go n-éirí an bóthar leat a Phríomhoide Sheehan. 🌟

Today was a very special day in SMGS Blarney as our students got an opportunity to pay their well wishes and appreciation to our Principal Mr. Pádraig Sheehan ahead of his retirement.

Starting as a First Year student in SMGS himself, Mr. Sheehan had been a linchpin of our school as a Teacher, Deputy Principal and Principal since 2009. His retirement in 2026 will make him the longest serving principal in our school.

His warm and supportive approach to the students was acknowledged by the Head Prefect Ellie Vaughan Reddan, who made such a moving speech on behalf of the student body.

A presentation was made by the to mark the special occasion.

40+ years of dedication, leadership, and care —Mr.
Sheehan's legacy will live on in every corner of this school he worked so hard to bring to Blarney.

As the final school term concludes, we wish Mr. Sheehan happiness, health and success in the years ahead.
