On Friday, 29th May, three of our 6th Year students were awarded the highest level of the John Paul II Award in recognition of their outstanding parish involvement, dedication to their faith, and commitment to serving their community.
The medals were presented by Bishop Fintan Gavin during a special Mass celebrating the visit of the relics of St. Carlo Acutis to our Parish Church. It was a truly privileged and memorable occasion for all involved.
We are extremely proud of our students and their achievements.
Congratulations to Ellen, Niamh and Abaigh on this well-deserved honour.
We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to Jacinta and Dolores for their dedication, guidance, and support of the students throughout their John Paul II Award journey. Their commitment and encouragement have played an important role in helping our students reach this significant milestone.

On Monday May 11th, three Dave Long buses left SCS taking all our first years, including our students from our LRC on their end of year trip to the Secret Garden, Kilbrittain.
Students had a fantastic day out participating in a wide range of teambuilding activities.
Well done to each and every one of them for being such good ambassadors for SCS. Many had to really step out of their comfort zone to complete some of the activities. They were amazing and it was wonderful to see everyone encouraging one another.

The 2026 Irish Maths Teachers Association First Year Competition took place in Skibbereen Community School in January, where all the first-year students took on 15 problem solving questions over 40mins.
The competition had 18,500 entries across Ireland.
One of our students, Naomi, received an IMTA medal for her performance. She was one of 263 students across the country to achieve over 95% in the competition. Well done, Naomi!
During the first-year assembly this week Mr O Mahony presented Naomi with her medal and also presented 11 other students with certificates of achievement for their excellent performance.
We're so proud of all the students involved.
A big thank you to our brilliant lunchtime librarians, Patrick, Lyndon, Charlie, Parker, Isaac & Eamon, who helped keep the school library running smoothly throughout the year. Their kindness, reliability and willingness to help made the library a welcoming place for students at lunchtime.
We really appreciate all the time and effort they gave, and the cheerful energy they brought to the library each day.

Congratulations to the Leaving Cert Class of 2026 on their graduation from SCS.
This year group has been a wonderful cohort, full of character, spirit, and resilience. They have made a lasting impression on our school community, and it was a pleasure to honour their achievements on such a memorable occasion.
As they now turn their attention to the upcoming examinations, we wish each one of them the very best of luck! We have no doubt that they will approach this next stage with the same determination and positivity they have shown throughout their time with us.
We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to all staff members who contributed to the success of the day. A significant amount of work takes place behind the scenes in preparing for an event like this, and it is through this collective effort and commitment that such a special occasion is made possible.
Congratulations once again to the Class of 2026, you will be greatly missed!
Hard luck to our U14 Boys Hurling Team who were beaten by a very strong Carrigaline team in the County Final yesterday.
