Is féidir linn
Cuireann Coláiste na Tulchann rogha eisceachtúil breise le hais an rogha scoileanna atá ann faoi láthair i mBÁC 15 & oirthear na Mí. Tá cóiríocht faoi leith ar fáil do Choláiste na Tulchann suite ar shuíomh Choláiste Pobail Bhaile Lotrail. Cuirtear curaclam leathan ar fáil trí mheán na Gaeilge. Tá deis anois ag daltaí atá ag freastal ar Ghaelscoileanna sa cheantar leanúint lena rogha oideachas trí Ghaeilge ó Bhliain a hAon go Bliain na hArdteiste. Cuirimid fáilte freisin roimh dhaltaí ó bhunscoileanna a mhúineann trí Bhéarla más suim leo oideachas trí mheán na Gaeilge a fhorbairt. Feidhmíonn Coláiste na Tulchann faoi phátrúnacht Bhord Oideachais agus Oiliúna BÁC agus Dhún Laoghaire (BOOÁCDL). Is coláiste comh-oideachais agus ilchreidmheach é. Is í an phríomhaidhm atá againn ná oideachas den chéad scoth a chur ar fáil agus forbairt iomlánaíoch an dalta mar chroílár an oideachais sin. Coláiste na Tulchann is an exciting new addition to the range of second level educational options in the Dublin 15 / East Meath area. Located on the campus of Luttrellstown Community College on Porterstown Road, Coláiste na Tulchann offers a full second-level school curriculum through the medium of the Irish language. Pupils attending existing Gaelscoileanna in the area now have the option of continuing their Irish language education locally right through to Leaving Certificate. A warm welcome is also extended to pupils currently attending English medium schools who have an interest in furthering their use of the Irish language. Coláiste na Tulchann operates under the patronage of the Dublin and Dun Laoghaire Education Training Board (DDLETB) and is a co-educational, multi-belief college committed to the holistic development and education of the students.
What’s in a name?
What better name for a local Gaelcholáiste than Coláiste na Tulchann (Tolka College). The Tolka River rises in Dunshaughlin Co. Meath, flowing through Dunboyne, Clonee, Mulhuddart, Blanchardstown and on towards the Irish Sea primarily flowing through Fingal County on its way. We felt its early path encompassed the areas that will benefit from the establishment of a local Gaelcholáiste. Just like the River which has nourished, sustained and enriched our community over the centuries, we would hope that our new school will play a major role in the enrichment and shaping of our communities in years to come. CAD IS AINM ANN? Níl ainm níos fearr ann don Ghaelcholáiste áitiúil ná Coláiste na Tulchann. Éiríonn Abhainn na Tulchann i nDún Seachlainn, Co. na Mí, agus ritheann sí trí Dhún Bóinne, Chluain Aodha, Mhullach Eadrad, Bhaile Bhlainséir agus ar aghaidh i dtreo Mhuir Éireann ag gluaiseacht trí chontae Fhine Gall ar an mbealach. Mhothaíomar gur chlúdaigh sruth na habhann na ceantair a bhainfidh tairbhe as an nGaelcholáiste nua. Ar nós an abhainn a chothaigh, a bhuanaigh agus a shaibhrigh an pobal s’againne thar na céadta tá súil againn go mbeidh ról lárnach ag an scoil nua i saibhriú agus i gcruthú an phobail sna blianta amach anseo. ANOTHER CHOICE – A LOCAL CHOICE The area currently has three primary Gaelscoileanna and two of these schools have doubled their intake to meet the growing demand for Irish language education – both locally and nationally. It is critical that these children should be assured of being able to continue their second level educations in Irish when they finish in these primary schools. ROGHA EILE – ROGHA ÁITIÚIL Tá trí bhunscoil lán-Ghaeilge sa cheantar agus tá siad tar éis líon na n-iontrálaithe a dhúbailt le freastal ar mhéadú an éilimh ar oideachas lán-Ghaeilge – go haitiúil agus go náisiúnta. Tá sé ríthábhachtach go mbíonn fáil ag na daltaí seo ar oideachas lán-Ghaeilge ag an dara leibhéal tar éis dóibh an bunleibhéal a fhágáil.
What are the benefits of an Irish language secondary level school?
We believe that parents and students should have another choice, a local choice, when choosing a secondary school. Creidimid gur cheart go mbeadh rogha eile, rogha áitiúl, ag tuismitheoirí agus iad ag roghnú iarbhunscoil.CAD IAD NA BUNTÁISTÍ LE HIARBHUNSCOIL LÁN-GHAEILGE?
Parents currently have a choice between a large number of community schools, community colleges, multi-denominational schools and private fee paying schools in the catchment area but they still do not have the option of an Irish language education. Tá neart coláistí pobail, pobalscoileanna, scoileanna ilchreidmheacha agus scoileanna príobháideacha le táille mar rogha ag tuismitheoirí sa scoilcheantar ach fós níl oideachas lán-Ghaeilge mar rogha acu.
Both international and Irish based studies have consistently demonstrated the many benefits to a child’s education when taught through second language. These benefits include:
- Enhanced academic achievements
- Higher levels of reading and writing in both Irish and English than the national average
- Greater tolerance of other cultures
- Improved reading skills in bilingual children in both languages
- Buanna acadúla méadaithe
- Leibhéil níos airde ná an meán naisiúnta sa léamh agus sa scríobh i nGaeilge agus i mBéarla
- Caoinfhulaingt cultúir eile níos fearr
- Forbairt ar scileanna léitheoireachta sa dá theanga i bpáistí dátheangacha
