Gaeilge Comórtas

We are thrilled to announce the launch of our school-wide Comórtas Gaeilge!
Our goal is simple: to bring the Irish language to life outside of the textbooks. We are encouraging all students to use as much "Gaeilge an lae" (everyday Irish) as possible—whether they are in the classroom, playing on the yard, or passing each other in the corridors.
The Grand Prize 🏆The class that makes the biggest effort to speak Irish will be crowned the champions and rewarded with the ultimate prize: A Class Pizza Party! 🍕🎉 (Huge thanks to our PTA for sponsoring the prize!!!)
How Can You Help at Home?You don’t need to be a fluent speaker to help your child’s class win. We are encouraging everyone to "Bain triail as" (Give it a go!). It’s not about being perfect; it’s about having fun and building confidence.
Is fearr Gaeilge bhriste ná Béarla cliste! (Broken Irish is better than clever English!)
