Online Learning – Google Classroom
This morning at tutorials and as part of our whole school address we asked students to check that they are able to access all online classrooms for their various subjects. Every student has access to our Google Classroom platform via their @glanmirecollege.com email. The planned reopening of school after the Christmas break is Thursday 6 January, however, it is important that we are ready as a school community to switch to our online learning platform if required. Parents are asked to discuss this with their children and check that they are able to access their account.

SVP Hampers and Donations from Christmas Themed Day
We would like to thank all of our students and staff members who contributed so generously to the SVP appeal this year. A total of 28 food hampers were delivered to the SVP depot and €464.60 was raised from our Christmas-themed day. These donations will make a real difference to families who find this time of year difficult. Thank you.
GCC Ladies Football
Well done to our junior ladies football team who had a great win over Kinsale Community School on Friday last week and also well done to our first year ladies football team, who played their first game against our neighbours Colaiste an Phiarsaigh last week.
