Double success for SMGS Wood Technology

Double Success for SMGS students!

There was double cause for celebration at SMGS this week as two of our students were recognised for their outstanding results in Junior Cycle Wood Technology 2025, presented by the Techno Teachers Association.

A massive congratulations goes to Ryan O' Dwyer, who was awarded 1st place in Ireland in Wood Technology — an outstanding national achievement. Ryan’s success is a wonderful reflection of his skill, dedication and hard work throughout the 3 years. He was taught by Mr Peter French, whose guidance and encouragement, undoubtedly played an important role in Ryan’s achievement.

We also extend our congratulations to Lexi Nagle, who achieved an impressive joint 5th place in the same exam. Lexi’s achievement is a fantastic accomplishment and a testament to her commitment and ability in the subject. She was taught by Mr. Conor Forde.

These awards are a fantastic recognition of the talent and dedication of our students and teachers. We are incredibly proud of both Ryan and Lexi and their achievements at national level. They were presented the awards by Principal Damien Moloney and their teachers.

Well done to you both
