Malahide School – Malahide Community School

Congratulations to U16 Girls GAA Team

Malahide School — Thu, 17 Sep 2026 18:02:03 +0000

MCS U16 Girls GAA team beat Santa Sabina 23 points to 18 at the Binn Eadair pitch on Wednesday. It was a wonderful display from 15 players with no substitutes who dug deep and showed great determination and effort for the entire game. A huge thank you to the four 2nd years who played, as our TYs were at a beach day and unable to attend. Leah Rochford was the player of the game, who was magnificent from one end of the pitch to the other – well done Leah!

The team face Castleknock in the next round in a few weeks.

Thank you to their coach, Ms Feerick.

TY Podcasting Module

Malahide School — Wed, 16 Sep 2026 14:28:04 +0000

Last week the TY Podcasting module welcomed Ben Symes, Newstalk “Off The Ball” presenter, producer and researcher, to the class. Ben is a former student of Malahide Community School and the TY Podcasting module. He gave a fascinating talk and answered student questions on careers in media and broadcasting.

The school community is so proud to see Ben’s career go from strength to strength, and staff and students alike will be following his coverage of the upcoming League of Ireland and Nations League games on Newstalk “Off the Ball”.

Thanks to Mr Cannon for organising!
