If you haven’t been keeping up on our social media channels, you might have missed out on our action-packed range of activities in recent times. Here are some highlights!

A Visit from the Mayor

We were honoured to host a short visit from the newly-appointed Mayor of Galway City (and Claddagh past-pupil), Cllr. Mike Cubbard. Mayor Cubbard took the time to explain his busy role in the City, and listen to suggestions from the children about one big change they would like to see in Galway over the next ten years. Thank you, Mayor!

A Sample of Science from Claddagh N.S.

This year has been a bumper year for scientific endeavour at Claddagh N.S., with children taking part in a huge range of different projects, culminating in the awarding of the Science Foundation Ireland 2024 Curious Minds Gold Award to the school.

Huge credit must go to the enthusiasm and hard work of Ms. Cullina in organising and pursuing such a fascinating, engaging and highly-valuable variety of scientific engagements for the children.

Just one example of the great learning and sharing of scientific knowledge happening in the school is the Coasts for Kids project, undertaken in collaboration with the Geography Department at the University of Galway. The brilliant videos below feature not only great animation, but some very talented narration by our very own Claddagh students - enjoy!

A Taste of Music from Claddagh N.S.

Music has been a central part of our school community for decades at Claddagh School and, with the dedication of some very talented staff members, continues to grow from strength to strength - whether it is through our brilliant choir, our famous school band or in our dedicated music studio, the Jane Morgan Jennings Studio.

Here is a sample of some of the amazing creative talent being nurtured under Ms. Fahy’s guidance in the studio.
