Multitalented students from Irish medium Gaelcholáistí across the country will gather on 24th March for the final of Scléip! in The Axis Theatre in Ballymun.

Gaelscoileanna Teo has been running Scléip! since 2006 and the competition, which is confined to creative performances only,  has been growing ever since. The staff at Gaelscoileanna have been travelling the country in search of the most talented and creative all-Irish secondary school students.

Clare Spáinneach, Development Officer with Gaelscoileanna Teo. said that 15 schools will be participating in this year’s final. “we hope to add to that every year. I hope the students take this opportunity to meet other students from all-Irish schools”, she added.

There are four categories: Contemporary music – Solo/Group, Creative Dance – Solo/Group, Drama – Solo/Group, Miscellaneous – Solo/ Group. The miscellaneous section is open to various performances from magic shows to storytelling and all other sections are open to innovative approaches.

A series of radio programs, presented by Fiachna Ó Braonáin, following the progress of Scléip! on tour around the country will air on Raidió na Gaeltachta in April.
