Éide Scoile 2026

School — Wed, 17 Jun 2026 10:26:03 +0000

A chairde,

Tuigimid nach bhfuil an samhradh ach tosaithe ach ba mhaith linn sibh a chur ar an eolas go bhfuil cótaí nua Choláiste Chilliain ar fail anois ó The Schoolwear House: Colaiste Chilliain – The Schoolwear House.

Tá dhá rogha nua ar fáil agus beidh cead ag daltaí an rogha glas a chaitheamh chomh maith. Is iad na cótaí seo an t-aon rogha atá ag na daltaí ar scoil as seo amach, ní bheimid ag glacadh le haon chóta eile ar thalamh na scoile.

Chuireamar cur síos soiléir le chéile maidir leis an éide scoile agus na bróga gur féidir caitheamh ar scoil, le feiceáil mar PDF thíos. Táimid ag súil go gcabhróidh sé le aon cheisteanna a bhíonn ag tuismitheoirí/caomhnóirí nó daltaí faoin éide scoile anseo i gColáiste Chilliain. Molaimid go láidir túslitreacha an dalta a chur ar an éide scoile trí mharcóir uiscedhíonach a úsáid ar na lipéidí nó an bhróidnéireacht a fháil.

Táimid an-bhródúil as ár gcuid daltaí agus as an éide scoile a dhéanann idirdhealú orthu. Ba mhaith linn ár mbuíochas a ghabháil libh as tacú linn leis an éide scoile.

We understand the Summer is only getting underway but we wanted to let you know that Coláiste Chilliain’s new school coats are available from The Schoolwear House: Colaiste Chilliain – The Schoolwear House.

There are two new options available and students will still be permitted to wear the green coat option. These coats are the only option for students at school from now on and no other coat will be permitted to be worn on school grounds.

We have also put together a clear description of the uniform and the shoes students can wear to school in the PDF attached below. We hope that this will help the queries parents/guardians or students have about the uniform here in Coláiste Chilliain. We recommend putting the students initials on the uniform by using a waterproof marker on the label or by getting them embroidered.

We are very proud of our students and the uniform that identifies them. We would like to thank you for supporting us with the school uniform.

le gach dea-ghuí,

Suirbhé do Fhoraois

School — Tue, 02 Jun 2026 10:36:05 +0000

A chairde,

Tá Colaiste Chilliain ag obair le Foraois an Ghaeilge a neartú sa cheantar agus deiseanna a thabhairt dár ndaltaí an teanga a úsáid taobh amuigh den scoil.

Is scéim í Foraois le díriú ar ghaelphobail a fhorbairt timpeall ar Ghaelscoileanna agus ar Ghaelcholáistí, ag cinntiú go bhfuil rogha clár agus cumann trí Ghaeilge ar fáil do pháistí lasmuigh de gheataí na scoile ina bpobail féin.

Ba bhreá linn roinnt réamheolas a fháil ó thuismitheoirí sa cheantar faoi na rudaí atá ag tarlú agus an t-éileamh atá ann sula dtosaíonn an clár. Má tá beirt páistí ag freastal ar scoileanna éagsúla is féidir an suirbhé thíos a líonadh faoi dhó. Bheimis buíoch más féidir libh an foirm a líonadh. https://forms.gle/SLn7ME6MB1jgPGbHA

Coláiste Chilliain is working with Foraois to support Irish in the area and to provide opportunities to our students to use the language outside of school. Foraois is a scheme focusing on developing Irish-speaking communities around Gaelscoileanna and Gaelcholáistí, ensuring that a range of Irish-language programmes and clubs are available to children outside the school gates, within their own local communities.

We would greatly appreciate some initial input from local parents about what is happening in the area and the demand before the programme begins. If you have children attending more than one school, you are welcome to complete the survey more than once. We would greatly appreciate if you can fill out the form. https://forms.gle/SLn7ME6MB1jgPGbHA

Le gach dea ghuí,

Colaiste Chilliain

Doras Ildaite na hEalaíne

School — Wed, 27 May 2026 11:06:05 +0000

D’oibrigh na Cinnirí Ealaíne, Emily agus Iseult (Bl5) go dian ar dhoras an seomra ealaíne a phéinteáil le déanaí. Chuir siad an t-uafás oibre isteach ag teacht isteach i rith an Lá Saoire Bainc fiú chun an tionscadal seo a chríochnú roimh deireadh na bliana! Thóg siad inspioráid óna sárshaothair ar an gcúrsa Amharc-Ealaíne don Ardteist. Tá Meagan fíorbhuíoch don múrmhaisiú álainn seo a chuireann leis an ceantar ealaíne. Maith sibh a chailíní!

The Cinnirí Ealaine, Emily and Iseult have worked hard painting the door of the Artroom. They did a huge amount of work, they even came in on a Bank Holiday weekend to make sure this project was finished for the end of the year. The girls took inspiration from the masterpieces on the Leaving Cert Visual Art course. Meagan is very grateful for this artwork as it adds colour to the area. Well done girls!

Rang na hArdteiste 2026

School — Tue, 26 May 2026 08:56:04 +0000

Bhíomar bródúil agus brónach ag déanamh ceiliúradh ar Bhliain a 6 le deanaí. Ba ghrúpa speisialta iad a chruthaigh dea-atmaisféar agus spiorad sa choláiste. Bhaineamar taitneamh as na Gradaim, an cluiche peile in aghaidh na múinteoirí (bhuaigh na daltaí ar chiceanna pionóis, faraor) agus an searmanas ceiliúrtha leo. Comhghairdeas le Aimee a bhuaigh Scothscoláire na Bliana agus Niamh a bhuaigh Gradam Uí Ailín!

Guímid gach rath oraibh go léir agus sibh ag tabhairt aghaidh ar an saol mór.

We were both proud and sad to celebrate the 6th years recently. A very special group who created a good atmosphere and spirit in the college. We all enjoyed the awards, the football match against the teachers (which the students won on penalties, unfortunately) and the celebration ceremony. Congratulations to Amy who won Scothscoláire na Bliana agus Niamh who won Gradam Uí Ailín!

We wish you all every success as you take on the world!

Oíche ar an Ardán 2026

School — Tue, 26 May 2026 08:40:05 +0000

Bhí dhá oíche iontach againn le siamsaíocht agus ceol nuair a chuir daltaí na hIdirbhliana Oíche ar an Ardán ar siúl le déanaí. Bhí siad ag obair go dian ó thus na scoilbhliana agus táimid fíorbhródúil astu. Is réaltaí iad ar fad agus ceapaimid go mbeidh Gradam Oscar nó Tony bainte amach acu sa todhchaí! Comhghairdeas leis na daltaí ar fad, na stiurthóirí Mairéad, Gráinne, Shauna & Meagan agus míle buíochas do na múinteoirí a thug gach deis dóibh, a chuir an seó ar fad le chéile,a las an stáitse agus a thug gach cabhair chomh maith leis an lucht féachana a thug tacaíocht dúinn (roinnt a cheannaigh ticéad don dá oíche mar gheall ar taitneamh a bhain siad as an seó!!)

We had two great nights of entertainment and music when the Transition Year students performed Oíche ar an Ardán recently. They have been working hard since the start of the school year and we are very proud of them. They are all stars and we think there will be an Oscar or a Tony presented in the future. Congratulations to all the students, the directors Mairéad, Gráinne, Shauna & Meagan and a massive Thank you to all the teachers who gave them the opportunity, put the show together, lit the stage and helped as well as the audience who supported us (some who bought tickets for both nights as they enjoyed the show that much!!)

Is minic a bhí ceol i gcroílár an aonaigh!

Lá Spóirt 2026

Comhghairdeas le gach duine a ghlac páirt agus a bhain taitneamh as an lá.

We had a brilliant Sports Day today in Coláiste Chilliain. There was a lovely atmosphere, good spirit, kindness, cooperation and fun amongst the students who were competing in a wide range of activities. Congratulations to everyone who took part and enjoyed the day. Thanks to the teachers who were in charge of the competitions during the day and the PE teachers who organised the day especially Múinteoir Lee who put the plan together!
