Seachtain na Gaeilge will be celebrated from 1st - 17h March. Seachtain na Gaeilge is a wonderful opportunity for us here in the Gaelscoil to celebrate our native language and culture. It is an eventful time in the school with lots of activities including our 6th class cake sale. We are delighted John Spillane Irish musician will visit the school on 8th March to perform a selection of songs through Irish. All classes will take part in the ceolchoirm.
