All Children Participate in Competitions. Competition is the Spice of Life', or so the saying goes In Gaelscoil, taking part in competitions is as natural as the way in which the students learn to enjoy their national language.
Competition allows each and every child to develop a healthy self-confidence from an early age.
In Junior Infants, the children get their first experience of the 'Stage' at Gaelscoil's Christmas concert. This is followed by poetry recitation and story-telling competitions in 'F ile Luimn , in Spring. At times, the infant classes participate in All-Ireland competitions at Sl adh and along with Art competitions at both local and National level, the first year is indeed a very busy, but thoroughly enjoyable one for our infants. Confidence building comes through the 'Fun' element of competition. Because all children at Gaelscoil participate at all levels of compitition, the infants quickly see that the best way to enjoy themselves is to have 'FUN'.
