Chun béim a chur ar an nGaeilge mar chroí an Choláiste, eagraítear turas chun na Gaeltachta do dhaltaí bhliain 1. I mbliana chuamar go hOileán Acla agus chaitheamar 3 lá/2 oíche iontach taitneamhach agus gníomhach ar an oileán – ag snámh sa phortach agus san Atlantach, ag siúl tríd aibhneacha agus easanna, ag tabhairt cuairte ar Chaisleán Ghráinne Mhaoil agus ar uile.
Chuir na daltaí aithne ar a chéile mar bhliain ghrúpa, bhaineadar ard-sult as na heachtraí agus chuireadar lena líofacht teanga.
The Irish language is at the heart of the school and to emphasize this a trip to the Gaeltacht is organized for First year students. This year, they went to Achill Island and spent 3 very enjoyable and active days on the island – swimming in the bog and in the Atlantic, walking through rivers and waterfalls and they also visited Gráinne Mhaoil’s Castle.
The students got to know each other as a year group, enjoyed the adventures and improved their language fluency.
