Coláiste Sheosaimh mid-term and summer courses now enrolling

January 25, 2013

Bunaíodh Coláiste Sheosaimh i 1960 agus eagraítear Cúrsaí Gaeilge rathúla gach bliain ó shin. Coláiste Sheosaimh is situated about 40 miles west of Galway city.

Since it was first established in 1960 the college has run very successful Irish courses from its two centres in Cárna (Junior College) and Cill Chiaráin (Senior College). The morning classes have been fully revised and restructured to put increased emphasis on oral work in line with the new school curriculum.

An intensive revision course will be held for Higher Level Irish Leaving Cert students during the February mid-term (Feb 8-12). The €350 fee includes full-board accommodation, transport and tuition on all aspects of the Leaving Cert exam – oral, aural and written.

There is also availability on the three-week summer courses running from June 30 to July 21 and July 21 to August 11. The €880 fee includes full board accommodation, transport and tuition. Organisers find that students enjoy their experience both in the college and in its surrounding area.
