An Gaeilge Bheo

Colaiste Uisce

  This was one of the many TY trips we took this year. The trip took place in Colaiste Uisce Bellmullet Co Mayo. There were many water activities such as sailing, board-sailing, archery and all the activities were done through Irish.

Feiseanna

  The Feis Shligigh competitors had immense success this year again.This takes  place in Sligo every Spring. Sligo Grammar students played a huge part in the activities. The competition consisted of comhra, oraidiocht, aithriseoireacht and leitheoireacht. There were many gold, silver, and bronze medals won.
We are especially proud that we took the cup for Verse Speaking. Irish Conversation and Choral Verse Speaking.

Students also took part in the Irish Speaking Competitions in Feis Ceoil winning gold, silver and bronze medals.

Seachtain na Gaeilge

The school hosted a week long series of events through as Gaeilge - organised by 5th year.  There was the annual poster competition based on "seanfhocail ", a bingo during lunch, céilí entertainment and the annual poetry and story competition! The atmosphere created a great buzz around the school!

The Céilí and entertainment were run in the school again this year and as the picture shows pupils enjoyed the evening...and impressed us by their dancing ability!!
Bingo  was a great success and was thoroughly enjoyed.  There was opportunity to achieve a "Fainne" for spoken Irish - 25 Or, 13 airgead and 5 daite were awarded.
