Bíonn Ciorcal Comhrá ar siúl ag am lóin uair sa tseachtain. Bailíonn daltaí agus múinteoir Gaeilge le chéile i seomra ranga chun lón a ithe agus chun a bheith ag caint is ag comhrá trí mheán na Gaeilge. Faoi láthair, tá Ciorcal Comhrá sinsearach agus Ciorcal Comhrá sóisearach againn. Tá fáilte roimh chách – daltaí le Gaeilge líofa agus agus daltaí le ‘cúpla focal’ araon. Deir iardhaltaí a ghlac páirt go bhfuil sé taitneamhach agus áisiúil dóibh siúd ag tabhairt faoin mbéaltriail sa séú bliain. Bunaíodh Ciorcal Comhrá sa scoil sa bhliain 2019 agus tugann sé misneach do dhaltaí leanúint ar aghaidh leis an nGaeilge m.sh. tá daltaí a ghlac páirt sa chlub Gaeilge san ollscoil mar gheall ar an taithí dhearfach a bhí acu le Ciorcal Comhrá i Meánscoil an Teaghlaigh Naofa.
Bígí linn! Mar a deir an seanfhocal ‘is aoibhinn beatha í a labhairt’!
Ciorcal Comhrá is on at lunchtime once a week. Students and an Irish teacher gather in a classroom to eat lunch and chat in Irish. At the moment, we have a senior Ciorcal Comhrá and a junior one. Everyone is welcome – both students with fluent Irish and those with a few words. Past participants say that it’s enjoyable and useful for those undertaking the oral in 6th year. Ciorcal Comhrá was set up in the school in 2019 and it encourages students to continue with Irish, for example. there are students who got involved in their Irish club in university because of the positive experience they had with Ciorcal Comhrá in Holy Family.
Join us! As the old saying goes ‘the life of a language is in speaking it’!
