Dates for Scléip 2011
December 10, 2010
GAELSCOILEANNA TEO. is delighted to announce dates for Scléip 2011. Scléip is the national talent competition catering specifically for Irish-medium and Gaeltacht post-primary schools. The competition began in 2005 and it has grown steadily since then. The aim of the competition is to encourage pupils attending Irish medium secondary schools to use their Irish through the various performing arts by giving them the opportunity to take part in a innovative and exciting event. We hope to encourage gaelscoil pupils to speak and use Irish in their music and drama. We would like today's pupils to be inspired in the same way as ex-gaelscoil pupils before them, such as members of Kíla, the Frames and Dara Ó Briain.
