Coláiste Charn Tóchair - Press Release
Due to ongoing renovations at An Carn, this year's college is based in the gaelic grounds of Sleacht Néill. The students have come from far and near, the locals from Machaire Rátha, an tSuaitreach and Sleacht Néill. Others have travelled from Baile na Scríne, Dún Geimhin and one student, Clár Ní Dhornáin has braved the distance from Tír Eoghain!!
The young students experience a wide range of activities daily. Last week, some of them made finger puppets, designed their own t-shirts, learned traditional songs and dances. They have partipated in language and board games and of course in a wide variety of sports. Cúrsa B is happening now. The college runs from 10 - 3. If you enjoy the Gaeilge, come and be apart of it! Bígí linn.
Pictured bellow are students and staff from Cúrsa A. Our thanks to the co-ordinator of Cúrsa A, Carla McGrogan and her experienced teaching staff, Catherine Kelly, Edel Quinn, Marion McKenna and Vera Feeney. The energetic and competent ceannairí of Cúrsa A were Frankie Ó Ceallaigh, Sorcha Ní Dhoibhilin, Ciara de Glas, Cathaoir Ó Caisaide, Liam Ó FLannagáin agus Aoife Ní Chaiside.
We would like to thank our funders, Foras na Gaeilge, for their help to make Coláiste Charn Tóchair a resounding success. We would also like to say 'go raibh míle maith agat' to the committee of Sleacht Néill CLG for making their fantastic facilities available to us.
Mol an óige agus tiocfaidh sí.
Féile Charn Tóchair also continues this week with Siúlóid Oidhreachta Heritage Walk, Tóraíocht Taisce Treasure Hunt and the traditional music band ‘Tannasg’ on Saturday night.
