☘️ Irish Language Comes Alive in Our Classrooms ☘️

13th Mar 2026

As part of our Green Day celebrations, we were delighted to welcome Miss Smyth into school to deliver Irish lessons and fun activities in every class. Pupils enjoyed taking part in games and interactive tasks through the medium of Irish, embracing the language with great enthusiasm.

We were also delighted to welcome Father McKay, who shared his knowledge of the Irish language with the children through conversations and songs. His visit added an extra special touch to the day.

It was a fantastic experience for everyone involved!
