Gorey Community School Link with Colaiste na Rinne.

In September 2011, Gorey Community School launched an exciting new initiative

with Colaiste na Rinne in the Waterford Gaeltacht. Over one hundred first year
students attended Irish College over three weekends in April and a further one
hundred will experience Irish being spoken in a natural environment, and take
classes in the spoken language in a safe, well resourced environment in April
2015. This is designed to be a fun learning experience for our students.

The first year class of 2020 - 2021 will also be offered this opportunity, as we see
it as an incentive for young people to practice their Irish in class prior to

attending the weekend class.

All those who attend the course will be entered in a draw to win a three week
Scholarship to Colaiste na Rinne next summer.

If you have any questions about this course, please contact Mr. O’Sullivan, or

Ms. C. Walshe at the school, and they will be happy to help.
