GAELCHOLÁISTE Chiarraí students enjoyed success in the Scléip competition held in Dublin last week.
The school had six acts in the All-Ireland of Scléip and while singers, musicians and creative dancers put on a spectacular display it was the TY drama group who won the day with their Coiste Cróinéara, where members of the 1916 Rising were posthumously put on trial.
Páirteach sa drama bhí Euan Ó Beoláin, Ciarán Ó Nualláin Tadhg, Máire Ní Threantaigh, Cian Ó Cianáin, Seán Ó hÁinle, Jeaic Mac Ginneá agus Carrie Ní Dhubhlainn.
Eight first year students sang leaganacha Gaeilge of “Riptide and By My Side”, eighteen TY students produced a leagan Gaeilge of “Footloose”, an eighties classic, and other Gaelcholáiste acts to reach this All-Ireland talent show included jazz piano and creative dance.
“The school has always fostered an interest in the arts, in creativity and in self-expression and Scléip is the ideal platform for such interests” said Michelle D’Altúin.
Scléip is a talent show that is exclusive to Irish speaking schools.
