3rd YEAR GAELTACHT TRIP, OCT 2nd / 3rd / 4th 2023
Dear Parent or Guardian,
The Gaeilge department at Scoil Chonglais is very much looking forward to next month’s trip to the Gaeltacht.
We will be staying for three days and two nights at a Coláiste in the Ghaeltacht. The Tendering process is underway, and the closing date for Tenders is next week.
The trip will involve watersports, speaking Irish in an immersive environment, and a range of other activities. Three meals a day will be provided, and a supper.
All levels of Irish are welcomed and encouraged, and students will be helped in speaking, understanding, interacting and communicating as Gaeilge at every point on this trip.
The listed cost of €255 is to cover all meals, all watersports, accommodation, instruction, supervision, and full bus travel to & from the West of Ireland. We will continuously work to keep this cost down, by seeking out and working with reliable and competitive suppliers.
All monies must be paid up in full, 5 school days before the trip. A letter will issue to you in two weeks with guidance on what to pack, with bus departure/return times, and with any other relevant information.
Our students are lucky to benefit from the great support and encouragement that comes from home. We are glad to acknowledge this and we commend our students on their hardworking and enthusiastic attitude. They are a credit to you all.
Please contact me if you have any further questions, on emerliston@kwetb.ie, or via the school office.
Le gach dea-ghuí,
Emer Liston
