Tá an t-adh linn go bhfuil daltaí chomh ceolmhar againn inár scoil. Comhghairdeas ó chroí le Ruaidhrí (Bl3) agus Leila (Bl6) beirt a bhain bua amach i gComórtas Scléipe i mbliana le Gael Linn. We’re incredibly lucky to have such amazing talent in our school community. Huge congratulations to Ruaidhrí and Leila who came away resounding winners in their categories in the annual ‘Scléip’ Music Competition. This competition, run by Gael-Linn, allows students in Irish-medium schools across the country to compete in a range of categories. There were 23 schools taking part in the overall competition.
Cháiligh siad beirt do chraobh na hÉireann den chomórtas, a cuireadh ar siúl sa Helix i mBáile Átha Cliath inné, i ndiaidh dóibh páirt a ghlacadh sa leathchraobh i mí na Samhna ar dtús. They both qualified for the All-Ireland final of the prestigious competition, sailed through with flying colours in their categories in the semi-final in November.
Both students competed in the solo instrumental category where they both played piano. The judges explained how difficult their decision was due to the high number of students taking part and the outstanding standard. Is sa rannóg ‘Ceol uirlisí aonair’ a ghlac ár mbeirt páirt, Ruaidhrí ag an leibhéal sóisearach agus Leila san aoisghrúpa sinsearach, leis an mbeirt ag seinm ar an bpianó freisin. Ba léir go raibh an caighdean iontach ard ar an lá, bhí a lán daltaí ó scoileanna eile ag glacadh páirte. Ach mhol na moltóirí ár mbeirt go hard na spéire agus bronnadh na duaiseanna don chéad áit ar ár gceoltóirí iontacha! Both Ruadihri and Leila won their individual competitions and were highly praised by the judges. What an achievement for both of them. We’re extremely proud of Ruaidhrí and Leila. Thug na moltóirí ardmholadh don bheirt acu ar an stáitse mór sa Helix… Dochreidthe!!! Ta an scoil fíor-bhrodúil as éacht na beirte!! Maith sibh Ruaidhrí agus Leila!!!
