Once again this year, Salesian Secondary College was bustling with spórt agus spraoi for Seachtain na Gaeilge. Seachtain na Gaeilge is a wonderful initiative, during which the students and staff of the school enagage in various activities in order to promote labhairt na Gaeilge ar scoil. Many students were rewarded for making an exemplary effort to speak Irish in their day to day school life. All students engaged in some traditional dances during PE class, such as Ionsaí na hInse (the siege of Ennis) and An Dreoilín. This was facilitated by some Transition year students.
 
First years were shown a movie as Gaeilge ‘Róise & Frank’ in the school hall, biongo, treodóireacht and poster competition based on Oisín i dTír na nÓg in their rang Gaeilge, Other years also engaged in bingo as Gaeilge, tráth na gceist, poster competitions and céilí dancing. A huge bualadh bos to all of the students in our school who engaged whole-heartedly in the weeks activies.
Remember – ‘Beatha teanga í a labhairt!’
