An sprioc atá againn anseo ná go mbeidh níos mó Gaeilge le cloisteáil & le feiceáil timpeall na scoile. Go spreagfar suim, bród agus tuiscint sa teanga. Go dtiocfaidh feabhas ar mhuinín na ndaltaí agus na múinteoirí araon agus go gcuirfear ar chumas na ndaltaí an Ghaeilge a fhoghlamaíonn siad a úsáid go muiníneach.
Chuireamar le chéile Coiste ag tús na bliana arís agus ansin gach seans a bhí againn an ghaeilge a chur chun cinn – thapaíomar an deis. Bhí Gael Linn anseo sa scoil chun treoir agus tacaíocht a thabhairt dúinn. Don bhliain 2024-2025 is daltaí ón Idirbhliain atá ar an gCoiste.
Ritheamar an-chuid gníomhachtaí, Pilates trí ghaeilge, Gaeilge 24, Seisiúin Ceoil, leadóg le Club na nÓg, Lá na bPancóg do na múinteoirí agus ar ndóigh Seachtain na Gaeilge. D’fhreastlaíomar ar chruinniú Bord Bainistiocha na scoile agus tá geansaithe álainn ag an gcoiste ionas go mbeidh a fhios ag pobal na scoile cé atá ar an gCoiste.
Rinnemar rudaí beaga timpeall na scoile freisin, comharthaí nua le ‘Slán libh’ agus ‘Slán leat’ ann. Chun tacaíocht a thabhairt don fheachtas ‘Bí Cineálta’ rinneamar postaer nua trí mhéan na gaeilge. Gach fórgra ar an idirchum tosaíonn sé le ‘Gabh mo leithscéal’. Freisin tá féilire na seachtaine ar Instagram agus Facebook dátheangach. Tá níos mó gaeilge le cloisteáil timpeall na scoile gan dabht.
Bhíomar thar a bheith bródúil cuireadh á fháil don bhronnadh oifigiúil arís i 2025. Bhí sé ar siúl i gColáiste Mhuire gan Smál. Ag an mbronnadh, bhí aíonna mór le rá i saol na Gaeilge ann agus bhí an-lá againn.
Bhí deis ag na daltaí freastal ar na ceardlanna a roghnaigh siad ar maidin mar eiseamláir don choiste a bhí i láthair ar an lá. Ghlac siad páirt in imeachtaí spleodracha agus fuair siad spreagadh don bhliain seo chugainn! Thangamar abhaile leis an mbrat agus ba mhaith linn é a fháil arís i mbliana.
Tús maith leath na hoibre mar a déarfá agus is fíor sin. Táimid an-bhrodúil as an obair atá déanta againn go dtí seo. Mar atá inár ráiteas misean ‘Is ar scáth a chéile a mhairimid.’
