Irish is the language of instruction and the language of communication amongst teachers, children, management and parents / guardians (where possible) in Gaelscoil Thaobh na Coille. • Irish is a living language within the classroom and without, in the schoolyard and in the vicinity of the school. • Irish is the language of communication at social functions, sporting and drama occasions and any other activity where we are present as a school. • All children are welcome in our school irrespective of linguistic background. Irish is the only language spoken to the child when he/she comes to school for the first time and there on after. We use the early total immersion method of language acquisition and English is not taught until senior infants. • We ask parents and everyone who is involved with the school to help us as we strive to create our own ‘Gaeltacht’ in the school and in our locality. • We would encourage the use of Irish in the home whenever possible – it doesn’t matter if it only includes a cúpla focal, short phrases or sentences here and there. A positive attitude towards Irish in the home as well as in the school, is of great help to us and to the child attending our school. • If a parent / guardian wishes to speak with the class teacher during class time, they must be willing to do so ‘as Gaeilge’.

Is é an córas luath thumoideachas iomlán atá i bhfeidhm sa scoil agus ní thosaítear ar an mBéarla a theagasc go dtí na naíonáin shinsearacha. • Iarraimid ar thuismitheoirí / chaomhnóirí agus gach duine eile a bhíonn bainteach leis and scoil cuidiú linn agus muid ag cruthú ‘Gaeltacht’ inár scoil agus inár dtimpeallacht. • Molaimid go mór iarracht a dhéanamh an Ghaeilge a labhairt sa bhaile nuair is féidir, is cuma muna mbíonn ann ach cúpla focal, nathanna cainte nó abairtí anseo is ansiúd. Is mór an chabhair dúinne agus don pháiste má bhíonn dearcadh dearfach i leith na Gaeilge le sonrú sa bhaile chomh maith leis an scoil. • Má theastaíonn ó thuismitheoir / chaomhnóir labhairt leis an múinteoir le linn ranga, iarraimid air / uirthi Gaeilge a labhairt.
