- Gaeilge
Irish is the official language of the Republic of Ireland, and it is also one of the oldest languages in Europe. It is compulsory subject in Irish schools. In Ó Fiaich College we endeavour to instil in our students an interest in our native tongue and to foster a love for the language.
We strive to make the learning of Irish both an enjoyable and worthwhile experience for all students.
We cater for all levels and abilities at both Junior and Senior cycle.
We encourage students to participate in classroom activities using their digital devices to help with the learning process.
We provide a range of activities during Seachtain na Gaeilge which culminates in the Lá Glas which proves very popular every year.
We also encourage interested students to apply for Gaeltacht scholarships that are provided annually
