2015 Gaisce Awards Ceremony

Scoil Mhuire 2015 graduates Ciaran Wyse and Brendan Dowling, received their gold Gaisce President's Award at an elaborate ceremony in Dublin Castle last week. Gaisce – The President's Award is an award earned by young people between the ages of 15 and 25 for participating in several activities for a certain period. The term "gaisce" can be translated as "achievement". Students participating in the awards undertake activities under the headings of Physical Activity, Personal Skill and Community Involvement. There are three awards; bronze, silver and gold. Both Brendan and Ciaran have already achieved their Bronze and Silver awards. The award encourages young members of society to become involved in leadership roles within communities. They were supported in their challenge by teacher Ms. Vanessa Bagnall, Gaisce Co-ordinator in Scoil Mhuire who praised the work and perseverance of both students in completing their tasks so well. Congratulations to both recipients on their wonderful achievement and we wish them well in their future endeavours.
