Well done to our 5th year Construction Studies group who visited Energy Build in Sligo and completed an excellent NZEB (Nearly Zero Energy Building) & Retrofitting workshop in their new training centre.

Bhí lá iontach ag scoláirí na hIdirbhliana sa Spidéal, i gContae na Gaillimhe an tseachtain seo. Ghlac siad páirt i gceardlanna éagsúla ar nós scríbhneoireachta, scannánaíochta, puipéadóireacht agus aisteoireachta – agus bhí siad uilig lán de fhuinneamh le linn na gceardlanna seo. Thug siad cuairt ar láthair taifeadta Ros na Rún agus fuair siad blaiseadh den saol taobh thiar de na ceamaraí. Chaith siad am ar na seiteanna agus bhain siad uilig sult as an turas seo. Eagraíodh an turas seo i gcomhpháirtíocht leis an tionscadal ‘Gaelíomána’. Táimid an-bhuíoch as MSLETB, agus Údarás na Gaeltachta as an deis seo a chur ar fáil dár scoláirí. Beatha Teanga í a labhairt!

Our Transition Year students had an excellent day in Spiddal County Galway this week. They took part in a range of engaging workshops including creative writing, filmmaking, puppetry and acting. They visited the set of Ros na Rún and got a taste of life behind the cameras. This trip was organised in conjunction with the ‘Gaelíomána’ project. We are very grateful to MSLETB and Údarás na Gaeltachta for providing this opportunity for our students.

Our Transition year students recently visited the Achill RNLI lifeboat station in Kildownet. During the visit, they learned about the importance of water safety, explored the equipment used in rescues, and gained insight into the vital work carried out by the lifeboat crew.

The students also had the opportunity to learn about volunteering, fundraising, and the wide range of roles available within the service. It was an engaging and educational experience that highlighted the dedication and commitment required to keep our coastal community safe.

We would like to sincerely thank Orla, Dave, Michael and Francis for their knowledge, and warm welcome. Their work is invaluable, especially in a community like ours that is surrounded by the sea.



Bhí lá den scoth ag scoláirí na hidirbhliana le déanaí nuair a thug siad cuairt ar an stáisiún bhád tharrthála Acla i gCill Damhnait. Le linn na cuairte, d’fhoghlaim na scoláirí faoi thábhacht sábháilteacht uisce, rinne siad iniúchadh ar an trealamh a úsáidtear i dtarrthálacha, agus fuair siad léargas ar an obair thábhachtach a dhéanann an fhoireann.

Bhí deis ag na scoláirí foghlaim faoi dheiseanna deonacha, bailiúchán airgid, agus na róil éagsúla atá ar fáil sa tseirbhís. Ba thaithí spreagúil agus oideachasúil í.

Ba mhaith linn buíochas ó chroí a ghabháil le hOrla, Dave,Michael agus Francis as a gcuid ama, eolais agus fáilte chroíúil. Tá a gcuid oibre fíorthábhachtach, go háirithe i bparóiste Acla agus an fharrraige mórthimpeall orainn.
