    The Concern Debating team had a great start to the year today with an exciting debate against Drogheda Grammar School. Our team opposed the motion that ‘Disinformation is the biggest threat to peace in 2025’. The team comprises of Madeleine Hardy (captain), Agata Zdybel, Eviera Omelchenko, Emma Ulmschneider and Zahra Fitzgerald (timekeeper). We’re looking forward to our next debate already where we will be proposing the motion that ‘Boycotting is the most effective way to end fast fashion’.

    A look back to our Annual School Mass last Thursday! 🕊️ Hearing the voices of our School Choir singing the 'Dominican Magnificat' truly brought our school community together.

    It was a special day centered around the theme of Love, embracing the Dominican spirit of Veritas (Truth) and the call to Bi Cinealta (Kindness). We were also delighted to acknowledge the Catholic Jubilee Year 2025: Pilgrims of Hope.

    A big thank you to Fr. Michael for officiating and to everyone who contributed to making the Mass so meaningful:

    Ms. O'Boyle, Dr. Kinsella, Me. Grehan & Ms. O'Hanlon for their wonderful musical preparations and accompaniments.

    Our students who shared through readings, prayers, reflections, and the offertory procession.

    Head Girl Ciara Kelly for addressing the congregation at the start, and Dr. Kinsella for the closing words.

    The Dominican Nuns who graced us with their presence.

    The 5th Year Prefects, Mr. O'Doherty, and our Religion teachers for their excellent organisation and coordination.

    This annual event is a cornerstone of our school calendar, uniting us all in faith and community. ❤️

    Parking Notification
    Dear Parent/Guardian,
    We have received a number of complaints from local residents regarding parking during morning drop-off and afternoon collection times. In particular, there have been issues with cars parking on footpaths and blocking driveway entrances.
    We fully understand that the area around the school can be very busy at these times; however, we would ask all parents and guardians to please be mindful of our neighbours and to avoid parking in a way that causes inconvenience or obstruction.
    Your cooperation helps us maintain positive relationships with the local community and ensures the safety and wellbeing of all our students and pedestrians.
    Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
    Kind regards,Dr. Alan KinsellaPrincipalDominican College, Galway

    On Thursday, 9th October, four of our students, Eviera (5th Year) Kylie (TY) Madeleine (6th Year) and Maimuna (3rd Year) attended the @sheroesgalway SHEroes Ireland Symposium on Gender Diversity in Politics 👏

    This year’s theme — “Sustaining Momentum: Supporting and Empowering Women and Diverse Communities in Local Government” — celebrated progress and encouraged young people to engage in political life and leadership.

    The event was organised by Councillor Helen Ogbu, founder of SHEroes, and featured an inspiring lineup of speakers, including Dr. Niloufar Omidi and Lilian, along with Mayor of Longford Councillor Uruemu Adejinmi.

    A fantastic and empowering experience for all involved 💫

    Reliving the Magic of Open Evening! ✨

    We're still buzzing from a fantastic Open Evening last Thursday, September 25th! It was wonderful to welcome so many prospective 1st Year students and their families to the school to see it in all its glory.

    A huge thank you to everyone who made the night such a success! Our Principal, along with our brilliant Head and Deputy Head Girls, inspired the crowd with their addresses. And a massive shout-out to our incredible prefects and students who did an amazing job guiding tours, helping out in various classrooms and answering questions. You truly showcased the heart and spirit of our school!

    If you missed it, or just want to relive the highlights, swipe through this reel for a sneak peek at the evening's atmosphere.

    We loved meeting all of you and can't wait to welcome the class of 2026
